The paper saga continues
So I finally resubmitted my one stab at a journal paper to the second journal yesterday. It took me about 10 hours to reformat it into the uber special APA format. Personally I think all psychologists need to get a life, and learn to make a LaTeX or Word template as well as a procite and endnote template. Instead they publish a book -- which is not nearly as helpful in today's society.
Personally I find the fact that you have to have a paper formatted in any specific way just to send it into a journal silly. Why not just allow the manuscript submitted in plain text, what you are actually worried about in the first editorial round anyway should not be in any way linked with formatting. In the end you will have to hand it over to a professional format person anyway (or simple force people to submit in LaTeX). Sigh, so much wasted time.
I also managed to finish up the two reviews that my supervisor and I have been working on/sitting on for the past semester. One more meeting and we'll send them off.
Oh and to combat my fickle memory and to increase my working knowledge of LaTeX I've begun to type up statistical analysis how-to notes. I finished my first one on Logistic Regression yesterday. If anyone is interested I'll send it along :)
Oh, and I'm still sick. Judging by the pack of drugs my doctor gave me this morning I should be dead by the new year.

Boo for being sick, but yay for LaTex! I learned some of it while at ISU, and LOVE it. Need to (re)learn it better.
