Invite your friend, by all means! We (obviously) need all the motivation we can get! :)
Sounds like you've got a lot of great outside deadlines to get you into gear. I'm finding myself floundering without someone else imposing the deadlines. I'm trying to figure out how to set some myself.
What's your conference paper on?
Oh, and those last incompletes before areas STINK! I took incompletes in both my classes my last semester. (I was lazy and pregnant that fall.) The first one had a firm deadline end of January, the other was flexible. That second one took me way past spring break. It was way better than the first one, but both were pretty poor and garnered my worst grades in grad school (except for a couple of short papers for Wenzl). I ended up having both of those profs on my committee, and thankfully, they didn't hold the papers against me. I hope your incomplete ends more successfully! (But let's face it, a finished paper is all you really need.)
Yay, SafiaK! Glad you're in gear and on board. Yes, invite your friend. Who is it? Do I know this friend?
I will post my wall of shame, soon. In fact, that's my first wall of shame tasks: Post wall of shame tasks.
