We have been summoned by our dean to register for Student Conference in OR (SCOR) and guess what, we have to submit our abstracts too, meaning we have to present during the conference. I thought I could escape as I have presented at conference before :-)
The deadline for the submission is on Feb 13, 2009 and they want it in Latex. I have never used Latex before and at this point of time I'm installing one. It's a good opportunity to practise using Latex; luckily the abstract is only 250 words. Otherwise, it's going to take ages!

Enjoying the snow?
The peak of snowing so far, is today, forcing the kids' school to close. The kids were so excited this morning playing with snow, built lots of snowman, took pictures, snowball fights...Well, here I'm, in the office, struggling to submit an abstract to a conference. It is almost ready and hopefully it will get accepted.
Following revisions after revisions, my supervisor thought that I should start writing my LR. I'm now holding tightly the book on How to write a thesis by Rowena Murray. Chapter 8 reads, it is never too late to start. So here I am, on step 1 of the chapter - take stock. I actually have written a few pages of the thesis but they are all jumpy. As a start, I'm going to list whatever I already have and proceed from there. My supervisor is a perfectionist; I'm sure once I start submitting the draft, there will be series of corrections as he reads everything as fresh; even if we have corrected the sentence earlier, he will change it to perfection. Is it good? Yes it sure is, but it's a hell of a tedious job!
So now, I would have to carefully plan and divide my time to handle programming, write papers, and start writing my LR. No more course for me except NATCOR...
