I’ve turned the corner and am back in the swing of things… still very very stuffy and congested, but not as sore and definitely more energy. Thank goodness for the magic of antibiotics!<\/p>\n
I met with Dr. Rice, the biostats professor I adore. We met at her house, brightly painted in yellows and greens that could make any grouch crack a smile. She made my day: the regression equations I was sure I destroyed were actually done correctly. In fact, the problems I had were weaknesses we already knew about, so it was really obvious in going through the problems what I need to spend my time working on (dealing with interaction terms in logisitic regression). This is a huge relief. She said I was “in great shape” and made me feel much, much better. Even cooler, when I asked her to be on my committee, she said she’d be “delighted” and “would love to!” Thank goodness!<\/p>\n
So: my committee is set (Kendall, Murphy, Rice), I’ve gotten thumbs up on biostats, survey design, and m&e. I’m still waiting to hear from my Econometrics prof… and then I’ll feel good about Day One. Time to turn to working on Day Two…!<\/p>\n
Oh, and working on getting better. I do *not* want to deal with a stuffy head while sitting these exams!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
