Independant Study

The independent study is going but I am not sure it is going well and I cannot see time to work on it in my near future. I see a few all nighters in my near future. I have the general concept down and the general code I think but I have to play around with it to try to get at exactly what I want. Luckily we have some time to work on it but I have guests coming in from out of town (my parents this week and my sister next week). My sister coming for jazz fest is very unsympathetic to the needs of a student and just wants to party. We will see who wins. Anyway hope everyone else is getting along in their Independent study.

Getting Busy

As is usual at the end of the semester, things are starting to get crazy. Lots of stuff is coming up due and to add to the madness, my old professor decided to dump two poster presentations on my. Also my parents are coming into town one weekend and then my sister another. Also have volleyball tournaments and soccer, but those are fun. Anyway as we all know, one of those assignments is the independent study. Since all of my data have already been processed in SAS i am going to compare my results from SAS to those from R and then make up a data set about mangroves and analyze that. Hoping this won't be too difficult, although I will need help generating a data set. Anyway, its a typical end of the semester so I'll stop whining since I am sure everybody has the same problems.
