So yesterday marked two milestones: I am done writing the Materials and Methods section of my thesis and I applied for my first jobs (about 10) for after graduation. I have been fretting over what statistical methods to use in my thesis but my adviser told me that there is a biostatistician that I can talk to that would help me (thank goodness). I have one more paper that I want to get and read and then I am done with all my background reading. But best of all I heard the best word today. It was on an episode of this American Life and there was a little section about pledging to NPR and Ira Glass used the allure of the rewards of various "merch" to encourage donations. I will be using this word when ever appropriate now.
BOBBY: What we need is a class full of girls who don't know us very well.
JOSEPH: Yeah! We could pretend we're from the future, and we need to experiment on 'em!... Wait, this is why girls don't like me, right?

Sounds like you're making good (and consistent) progress toward your defense - and graduation. I'm so glad to hear it!
So, did you make a pledge to NPR and get some "FAB MERCH"?
Great news that you're making progress. Let me know if I can help with anything (proof-reading, etc).
