Almost Finished!

April 22

I worked all weekend finishing the last two sections so the manual will be pretty much finished by the poster session. They are finished, I just have to meet with my supervisor to see if she wants anything changed or wants to add anything. There will be a couple parts that I won’t have finished, because I have to wait for my supervisor’s supervisor to write them (which will probably be awhile). But, I want to have everything else finished.

I am now starting to work on the table of contents and the appendix. I am having trouble deciding how to do the table of contents. I want to include every heading, so it is easy to find information quickly. Word has a table of contents tool, but I can’t get it to cooperate. So, after spending a couple hours fooling around with that, I have decided to do it on my own. The problem is getting all of the numbers aligned. Something this easy should not be taking this much time. Oh well. I guess I will figure it out eventually.
I am also having trouble figuring out how to do the appendix and how to include the appendix in the table of contents. I have tried a few different ways, but I haven’t decided on which way is best. I think I will ask my supervisor what she thinks. I still need about five different files from her before I can even put the appendix together.

Now that everything is starting to come together, I can finally sit back and look at what I have accomplished this semester. I am really excited to get this thing completely finished.
