Seven is a great number. It is the number of my favourite final fantasy game.

I have made really good progress on my thesis work this week. It has cost me somewhat on the homefront. The significant other is getting kind of sick of only seeing the back of my head coz I am spending so much time on the computer. I dont know why the complaints - at least I'm not wasting my time looking at internet porn! And I look at it this way, if I do well on the MA, I will get a better job, we will have a higher standard of living, yadda, yadda, yadda.

AND I AM ALMOST DONE!!!!!!! 36 interviews to go, then synthesis and I am outta school!!! I should be done by august at the latest. I am shooting for the end of june tho, if I can.

The one issue I am running into is that I need to set up a database to manage the responses to my questionnaire. I hate doing that. I went into social sciences because I suck at math. Now I have to be able to statistical analysis in order to demonstrate that I understand the implications of my research. Man, I should have married a statistician instead of a public relations person.

I am now having to hit up friends who understand math to help me structure my analytical tools for my data set. I feel like that barbie from the late eighties that used to complain about math being hard when you pulled her string.

Its funny, but the one thing I am looking forward to more than any other - being able to play games again without feeling guilty. How is that for low expectations?
