Econometrics Homework

semiotic_pirateI feel damned accomplished. I didn't get into class this past Thursday because of the snowstorm - I wasn't driving in for an 8am class (the only one for the day) before the snow removal between here and there was completed. I woke up today with the intention to go over the Power Point presentations for last week - this I did - and I realized that we must've finished the chapter on Thursday. This means that this Thursday the homework is due to be handed in. I got cracking, opened the book up and started going through the assigned problems. Only one part of one problem gave me any distress, so I put it aside for later. I emailed with my main homework buddy to confirm that yes, the homework is due on Thursday; usually we are chatting through the weekend pinging each other back and forth with what we are doing... So, to sum up, I just figured out that last part that bothered me...
I did the homework ALL by myself!
This from the person who has been dreading econometrics for the last two years. Though I know it will get harder over the course of the semester - probably - I'm feeling pretty good right now. I think I need warnings from all of you not to get too cocky. Wow.
Now, I'm just waiting to hear back from the Cow Pot people so that I can get started on some sort of Independent Study project. This is essential for my graduating this May. That and finally getting my European Economic History paper graded and having that Incomplete changed over to a GRADE which I hope is at least a B.
Damn... Does this mean I have to start looking for a job? Shit.

3. I'd like to get out into a job that will give me some ideas about what I could do for a dissertation and some experience in conducting dissertation type research.
Really, I've been in school for a long time now and I really need the break that getting a job would give me.

Date: 2007-02-20 01:51 am (UTC)But I hear you about taking a break. I took one between MA and PhD and I'm glad I did, but I'm also glad to be (hopefully) becoming an academic and not have to do that standard "job" thing anymore. If I shift my expanding butt to finish the work, that is. *Sigh.*
