Go, me!

I just e-mailed my advisor a nine page, highly detailed outline of the results section of my dissertation. It includes descriptions of everything I see in my data, including justifications, descriptions, and results for all my statistical tests that are worth mentioning. (Most, but not all, of the ones with significant findings, plus the important ones without significant findings.)

It doesn't include much in the way of interpretations, limitations, cautions, links to the theoretical literature, recommendations for the future, or, in short, What It All Means. That all goes in the discussion section, which will consequently be more fun to write.

I'll include the top two tiers of my outline (it went up to seven tiers deep in some places) here for those of you who like to play along at home. I know I've babbled about my results before, so there may not be anything new here, but it's certainly a lot more orderly.

curiousangel and I bought a new bed with a lovely pillowtop mattress for our new house.

It's a delayed Christmas present from curiousangel's father, who likes to buy us furniture. It's extremely nice.
