Final hours

Thanks for all the encouragement, Readers!

I got home around midnight last night. The chapter are all done, but I need to read through to make sure some changes I made last yesterday make sense. TOC is done, but there might be some weird stuff with the page numbers. Lists of Tables,Figures, and Abbreviations are not done, but I doubt my committee will care at this point.

So, today. I printed one copy of the fucker last night, and now I am going to read through it to make sure everything is OK. Then I'll take a stab at the LoT, LoF, LoA, and try to fix the page numbering issue. If any of those things get too hard, I will quit. Then I will take it to kinko's, get it printed and bound, buy some cds* to make electronic copies for everybody, and turn it in.

We're going out tonight. :)

*I thought it would be really nice to give each committee member a usb stick with the diss saved as both a word doc (so they can track changes) and a pdf. The pdf wont' happen because I can't do that on my laptop and I"m not making the drive back to the lab today. I bought enough usbs, but it cost $75, so I think I might take them back and use cds instead.
