Barkeep49: Thanks and I agree about the reward thing.
It's not the academics that's killing me (outside of Stats) so much as it is the social aspect and well, with one of my best friends passing away Friday as I found out Sunday, it's going to make the final 5-6 weeks that much rougher. But I'll definitely gut it out.
Cap Ologist: I'd have definitely said that before Sunday, but this death's proving a lot tougher to deal with than I thought. I'll keep trying to cowboy up, though and I''m sure things will work out for the best in the end.
Incidentally, ran across one of my rec letter writers today and he said I should be hearing -very- soon from the grad schools, his guess is within the next week or two.
Sure hope he's right.
