Basking in Maltese

Andy's a programming genius! I have almost all the items we need now for BOTH experiments on Maltese selected and organized into prime-target pairs according to priming condition and distributed evenly among the four verbal classes we're using. I am experiencing a sense of relief that has been almost unknown in the past month and a half. I've also come to the realization that programming is one of the most valuable skills a psycholinguist could have (or, alternatively, that having a programmer for a partner is a really good idea).

Aside from wanting to learn programming, I'm also basking in the fact that for now, we are ahead of the curve. Who knows what bumps lay ahead; given our experience, anything is possible, and we'll cope with it all, but this post is dedicated to this beautiful sense of relief and productivity. Thanks, Andy! You're the best.
