to do

tomorrow's list, in no particular order:
-lunch w/dr Ewen ~110
-signatures from Babits and Ewen
-print thesis
-meeting w/tschetter @3
-see landlord re: wasps and Nadine
-start packing some stuff
-call Chris and Maria!

I'll get you yet, time!

Yes, here I am in the Eller computer lab, yet again. I thought I'd be done with this all by now, but apparently not!

I had a nice lunch with Dr. Ewen, and ran into Chris, and made tentative plans for this evening to do.... something? Well, I will call their house once I get back from my meeting, unless I have major changes to make. I really hope that I don't, so that I can get this stuff delivered to the library tomorrow. I'm not really expecting to be able to pick stuff up before I leave though - I expect I'll have to get my copies when I come back to sort out my crap.

What else... I guess that's it for the moment, really. once I have my thesis all finished and approved and shiny, I'm going to see if there is anyone around who has a program that I can use to PDF it. I believe that somewhere in Eller there exists a copy of Acrobat Professional which should do the trick. Ahh, and I even found which computer it is on. Awesome. This means that I can burn copies to disk for people, woo-hoo! I will send copies to people whose stuff I used (Nevis guy and Barcadares guy). This will also be good for relaying copies to anyone else who might want one, or if I want to put it online. In fact if I do this, I suspect that the department will link to it online :) So that's keen.

I am wondering if there is something I can get published out of this. I might ask Carl. Technically I could go over there right now and ask, hmmm... nah. The bees are attacking and I don't really want to do much wandering around. Otherwise I might go to the library.

Bah! I wish I'd thought to bring something else to work on or read or what have you, but I was kind of in a hurry when I left the house. Anyone out there alive have suggestions as to what I could to to kill time for an hour?

Score! Hazel got a free hammy cage in TO! :D Habitrail space station. I guess Scallywag is just a space hammy - moving from one space themed cage to another ^-^

So, how did it go?

It went fine. I don't have to change my signature page, and that was my biggest worry. I do have some other changes to make, but they won't take me long. I go back at 2:30, after my doctor's app at 1:00. Woot!

I think I'll fix things now while they are fresh in my mind. There! I don't even have to re-print everything, just:

abstract
title page
table of contents
list of tables and charts
chapter three
chapter four
appendix a cover
appendix b cover

and that's that! now, off to call Chris and Maria :)

ETA: They have a dance lesson tonight, so we will do Stuff tomorrow. Yay stuff! Now I think I will do some baking and tidying/packing of my house as I heat dinner :)

packing

There are very few things I own besides books that I really really wouldn't want to part with. In fact I probably could part with everything I own, really, I'd just rather not. Because I *don't* have to.

Anyway, almost everything I have that isn't if immediate need that has sentimental value is packed away in a blue chest that belonged to my mom. Most it is letters and some old toys and my rocks and other things in that vein. I padlocked the chest, because I have a combination lock. I also lock-locked it. Whoops. Key? Who frickin' knows! :V

Well, it isn't a complicated lock, anyway...
