Personal Update

Morning all. Like everybody else, the blogging has been light lately. I've been trying to finish my last chapter for my dissertation. I managed to get the model right after about a week, but then I wasted another week trying to acquire the program I needed to run it! Stupid thing costs $100 to get the license, and I certainly didn't need it for a whole year. But I finally found a copy and now I'm pretty sure I'm going to make my self-imposed January 1 deadline for having drafts of all the chapters completed (except for the conclusion, which doesn't count!). At which point I have to start nagging my advisor to read the thing. Not that I can blame him. I wouldn't want to either.
