So. A breeding population. Does this mean someone will have to keep up annual counts of the little dears?

I'm glad someone else thinks he's sweet! Most people just back away slowly with a glazed grin!

I found 2 more snakes toady! That makes ... (drumroll) ... a total of 30!

YIIIIIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yes, I know, a totally arbritary figure but one that the Powers That Be set a while back as an important number for statistics.

Sadly I think I may have cooked my brains today. I am now in much pain. I plan on having a nice cool bath!

Ah! You're sweet to care!

I am pleased to announce that the current count is 38!
Yiiippeeeeeeee!

I've left my minion looking for more whilst I came home to start writing up. This is all amunition for my request to delay the deadline for a few weeks. I go to see my professor tomorrow to fight that battle and get told how I've not done enough work and everything I have done is wrong! Wish me luck!

Last minute cramming session today!

Thank you.
Shiny! And you only needed 30, right? Whoo-hoo! So, think the professor will give you the extra time? Hey, you did find eight above your goal...that's gotta count for somethin', eh?

I am so stressed! I had a 3 hour meeting with my supervisor and a statistics expert yesterday, and am now more scared and confused than ever!

They didn't like what I had done with my results , unfortunetely they didn't come up with many workable alternatives so it's back to the drawing board! They told me no statistics would really work but that I sould try them all anyway!

To be fair, they did give some useful advice and stats man is going to look into a few options for me. Still, all the things they told me I have to consider and mention or analyse or issues I have to resolve have left me reeling! They did relent at one point and say that one of the techniques they were raving about would take several months to learn and is PhD level so maybe I should stay away from it.

Plus they say that my college DOES NOT GIVE EXTENSIONS EVER!
Arrrrrrgh!

What was suggested is that I rely on the late work buffer period of 10 working days, with a late work submission form (my supervisor is head of the late work review panel so he says I should get away with it).

Sooooo much to do and so little time!

Hold me, I'm scared!

I'm sorry, sweetie! Sounds like they're expecting a bit much. What do they expect you to do, really? "Hey look, I've found this many snakes!" How much can you do with that? (don't give the big long stressful answer unless you want to, since this is a retorical question designed to say "you're doing all you can.")

again.
