I don't stay up all night anymore...

Jul 31, 2007 21:54

It is official: Academic all-nighters are more fun when there are still people in the lab at 10:00pm.

I just turned in a paper. It's a fair-sized paper. You could read it, if you wanted. Even better, you could tell me how to improve it before it's set in stone. :c) That is, if you feel like you have too much free time.

doins, research

I like the colors and the pictures!!! The format is excellent (default to tech) and I like the use of "a la" though I would like ther to be some "a la mode" in there two. Excellent sectioning. I don't understand the computer language and would like to discuss such academic growth as you have experienced when you are not rambling in green gazeboes. :)

Oh yeah, and it is long.

How long were your Masters theses? I don't have the Virginian one handy, and I'm not sure I ever got a copy of the one from Cambridge (Hmmm...). I'm about to create another diagram for the slides for my viva (which is next week). Let's talk soon. But possibly not before Tuesday evening.

Yeah, yeah... But I'll bet it was double-spaced!

This isn't really related to your post. I'm just using this as a way to get in touch with you for a quick question. I think you grew up in the Lakeland/Polk County area, right?

Well, I got a call from a school in Polk County that is looking for a teacher, and was going to see if you knew anything about that school. It's Discovery Academy in Lake Alfred.

Any inforinput would be greatly appreciated...you can either reply here or post the the entry in my LJ.

Thanks in advance.

I am from there, but I know little-to-nothing about the schools, I'm afraid. Especially in Lake Alfred. The only thing I can say is that Lake Alfred is close to Winter Haven, which is a pretty good city, and an easy drive from Lakeland, which is a decent city of a good size. So living-wise, you'd probably do very well, but I don't know about your potential employer.

Now for a comment in reference to your post.

Fair-sized? 29 pages isn't that long. :p My senior research at Stetson was longer than that. (you know I am just teasing you) :)

If I knew more about your topic I'd put in some input, but alas I do not.

The formatting looks familiar though...could it be LaTeX?

I know; my own senior research paper was twice this long. My main point was that it's not something people are going to read during their coffee breaks. :cp

And dang straight it's LaTeX. Accept no subsitutes! :cD
