Yikes! Mid-December Update

The month is half-over, and here is how the goals are coming along:

• Finish draft of Experiment 1 paper and get it to advisor (ASAP!)
  Done! The draft is complete and it is off to the advisor. He told me yesterday that he "forgot" he was supposed to be reading it. Sigh.

Here's hoping I have a super productive week and get a crazy amount of work done before Christmas and traveling to Buffalo for New Years! I have a committee meeting in 4 weeks and have to convince my committee to let me graduate in May. So I gotta get my ass in gear!
