Done with the FYP!!!

I just wanted to announce to my family and friends that I have officially completed my first-year project (or, what I have come to call my fyp): I turned it in yesterday.

This fyp is the culmination of my first year at graduate school...the proof that I did some research in my first year, and the pain in the *** that has been haunting me all summer. This is also (well, probably a revised version) what I will be turning in next year around this time as my masters thesis, assuming I pass my written prelims next summer. And now, it is DONE!!!!

A few stats:

• Length of the fyp manuscript: 50 pages
• Length of actually written (prose, not tables/appendices/etc.) part: 22 pages
• Number of people who worked on the fyp: 4 (me & SweetPea, and our two fabulous undergrad coders)
• Number of months it took to complete: 10 (I believe, since our first meeting about it was in December)
• Number of evenings I almost drove Andy insane due to working on the fyp: ??? (I guess you'd have to ask him)
• Number of people who care about the above stats: 1, maybe 2 (SweetPea?)
• Number of drinks I will consume with SweetPea tonight in order to celebrate: ???
