paper!!!

[georion23]

don finally sent me the final revised draft of our paper! 'experimental petrology of the basaltic shergottite yamato 980459: implications for the thermal structure of the martian mantle.' i have given myself until wednesday to make my corrections (since i can spot a typo from 3 miles away, as advisor tom likes to say. and i'm a grammar nazi like my mother.) and then it will be submitted for publication! finally! this paper has been almost two years in the making. i'm so glad it's finally getting published. i've gotten through 17 pages of text so far. have 9 pages of text, 2 pages of appendix, and 4 pages of figure captions to go over tomorrow. and then i'll send it back to don and he'll submit it to meteoritics and planetary science. and i'll be published in a peer-reviewed journal! yay!
