Check marks

I forgot to include the approach and objective in the introduction portion of my thesis. In a scientific paper, this is essentially the same as writing a literature paper without including a thesis in the introduction. You might be able to figure out what's going on by reading the context but really, it's just a whole lot of wondering what on earth was I thinking when I typed the thing up.

That bit of the editing process didn't feel much like fixing an error. It was more like preventing a pyroclastic explosion.

I wonder if I should attempt to recap last week. If I were to describe everything in as much detail as I generally do for the gatherings I suspect I'd end up typing here all night (so, so, should NOT have let the entire week's events pile up but then again -- when would I have found the time and mind set to sit down and TYPE?). If I skipped out all the details then the entire thing can be wrapped up in one paragraph. It will be cut and dry like a page tore out of my agenda... and about as interesting (but definitely neater and easier) to read. There is a magic percentage of details to include for these sort of things but since I don't think I'll be able to find it any time soon I'll, for the records, lay down the basic events and go back and flesh it out over the next few days whenever I feel like it.

Hm. Sounds reasonable.

Let's see then: Lusine arrived on Monday I think. Tuesday I went over to Kate's at noon-ish and met Kateryna and Lusine, and then the four of us went to Valleyfair. We also rented the movies on that day and grocery shopped. Wednesday was Movie Day at around eleven. Soniya, Victoria, Anna, Malvina, and Victoria all made it in addition to Lusine, Katerina, and I. It was at Kate's house again (we did go over there a lot this break, didn't we?) and there was chocolate with a music CD and lots of movies and junk food. Thursday Victoria, Lusine, Katerina, Kate, and I visited CHS, went to Cupertino Square (still getting used to the name) to watch Enchanted, then there was Fresh Choice. Friday was our SF day trip with Victoria, Lusine, Kate, and I. Pier 39...we came back early to Kate's and...I drew on napkins. (It makes more sense with explanations. Or maybe not. Oh well.) Saturday Kateryna, Lusine, and I went to Kate's to hang out. We watched the Simpson movie (DVD) and watched Lucy run around in the backyard. Lusine left Sunday morning.

Monday I went to Shoreline Park with my parents and yesterday, Tuesday, was Christmas. That seems to cover the basic gist of things so, next time will be the details.
