Countdown begins

DevonsangelOctober 14, 2008

And so it begins. I have a deadline for my masters report and presentation: November 1. I have to have a final presentation and report ready to give to my committe by then to allow them time to review everything before November 14 when I give the public presentation of the headache I have been working on for the past two years. Sadly, the analysis of the data is still not finished, but I put my foot down and said I wasn't going to pay for another semester of tutition if I had to wait on someone else. Besides, what initially started as an internship ballooned into a research paper.

I have already warned Dastard so he can try and keep me off the ceiling as I begin to freak out. So, how much still needs to be done? HAHAHAHA, too much. I do have a few chapters written, but I need to review my references for accuracy and pull some information that is available from the data out and set up some graphs for the paper and the presentation. That is going to be the time consuming process. I'm still learning the many facets of Excel and what it can do.

The good news is that after November 14, I hope to renew my gold subscription for XBL and start playing some games again. I fear my reflexes and skill (LOL) will be sorely lacking, but oh well.

Wish me luck and send good thoughts.

Keep on Go!

Just make sure he wears his \"Federal Officer\" t-shirt again.

Wow. Dastard will let you buy an Elite then travel out of town with it? Must be a great guy. Good thing he doesn't even think about cheating on you (look up and thinks 'oops').\r \r I would definately but an extended warranty if you are thinking of trudging the Elite around. Either that or pre-order a casket.\r \r As for being sent out of town for a month - find a new job! I give my employer heck for trying to send me out of town for a week (or two). Depending on what you do, the internet and intranets (via VPN) make business travel entirely unnesessary.\r \r Overthrow a dictatorship. Should be alot easier.\r \r I would just be thankful to have a spouse that cheating on her would be difficult.\r \r Can I change the theme song at will? Still, I think I would tire of that quickly. Maybe mood lighting would be a better choice.\r \r

@NotStyro: My office has been very generous in keeping me \"home\" while I take classes. Besides, I have to go to other businesses to do my job and really can't get the job done over the internet. But, that's why they make xboxes portable(to an extent):)

1) Overthrow dictatorship! Power to the people! :P\r \r 2) Hmm I have to think on the cheat/believed cheater more. I'm inclined to say the flasely believed one but I know pressure of belief can be intense...\r \r 3) Oh definitely my own theme music that changes at will. That would be too much fun...and I get to control volume levels too!\r \r M

Good luck. Work hard and it will all pay off.

Good luck and stay focused. Try not to go off on tangents as you become more frustrated with your progress.
