Hello All!!
Despite my lack of participation on this board, I do read everyone's posts and you all sound like you are making great progress (in life and thesising)! I have a question about making the table of contents, which I should have learned to do in grade three, but didn't...and I do not have the patience to manually put ........4, ..........5, and so on, in a word document, so here is my question:
How do you make a table of contents using word 2007? Hahaha
Sarah - I know you briefly tried to show me a longggg time ago, but I have since forgotten your words of wisdom. Any help (other than telling me to use the word help tool bar) would be greatly appreciated!
I have section headings in my word document, but have not yet done that weird linky thing at the top of the tool bar (Sarah I think you know what I mean).
Thank you!!

Feelin pretty good.
As you know, I nervously sent a chapter to my adviser for him to review. I just got an email which said, "And I am pleased that you are still making progress on the thesis. I have read, and enjoyed, this chapter."
Yay. There's something about even the smallest words of encouragement that give me a bit more drive to finish!

Not abandoned!
Hi all,
Yes, I'm still alive and working on my thesis. I just sent a draft of Chapter 3 off to Ian! And Chapter 2 is 'almost' ready for criticism as well. ;)
My results chapter 4, is in progress, and shouldn't be toooo difficult to complete. Although, I still haven't worked out how I'm going to tackle my weather adjusted data, which is in a form that isn't as useful to me as I once thought it would be.
My goal at this point - as Ian suggested - is to KEEP IT SIMPLE! I think for the most part I've made things harder on myself by making things unnecessarily complicated.
How is everyone else doing?? Lynz? Marianne?

100 pages!!
It's pretty obvious that the blog has been abandonned by one and all....but I still wanted to post two pieces of exciting news.
1. I cracked the 100 page mark today! Whoop! I know page number mean nothing in terms of content, but it's a mental victory.
2. I have a defence date!! With some committee member re-organization, Ian and I have finally decided on a defence date. The big day will be September 22, 2008, hopefully in the morning. I get back from Peru on the 20th, and will have 2 days to reacclimatize and to prep for the defence. I'll have 4 days to do my revisions, and I should be able to get my tuition back for the fall semester.
The end is in sight!
