Progress: Day 3

So I've learned some things about how Microsoft Word's word count tool works, and may wind up re-adjusting my goals. For example, it counts every entry in a table of numbers. It also deals very oddly with symbols and equations.

November 3rd:

Starting Metrics:
Ch. 1 -820
Ch. 2 - 1,943
Ch. 3 - 1,480
Ch. 4 - 873
Ch. 5 - 41
Ch. 6 - 7
---------------
           5,165

Paper 1 (Ch. 1) - 5,504
Paper 2 (Ch. 3) - 1,102
Paper 3 (Ch. 3) - 1,635
Paper 4 (Ch. 4) - 2,906 {currently in advisor limbo}
Paper 5 (Ch. 4) - 1,222
Paper 6 (Ch. 5) - 155
Paper 7 (not even slightly related to my thesis) - 1,811
-------------------------------
                            14,376


The papers relevant to Chapter 2 are already written, and hence are not included in the totals (but total 7,764 words, which may help Ch. 2 expand a bit more quickly)
