Mission Accomplished

NO, that's NOT my cod piece!

No, not that mission! I FINALLY completed all my work for my first year of graduate school. Yippee! Last night (morning?), at 4 am, I dotted the last i on my final paper of the year: The Construction of Pre-Cancer Diagnoses as a Reaction to Death. Snappy title, eh? It’s good timing, because the new semester started yesterday- which means the ticker will start ticking again.

Without further ado, here are the final stats as of today; keep an eye on the “Whirling Dervish” page (if you are so inclined) to see progress throughout the coming semester. I’ve found that this ticker really helps me- it’s hard to feel productive when all I do most days is sit around and read; putting some numbers to my day makes me realize that I am actually accomplishing something, even if I don’t have much to “show” for it. You’ll notice that I’ve already updated the stats for this coming semester.

In the near future, I’ll update that Whirling Dervish page more thoroughly- maybe pictures, more interesting information, etc. But for now, it’s just the same old story.
