I forgot to do one of these yesterday, or at least an official one.

I read one anf a half articles on Byzantine trade, did my required reading for today's class (although I need to catch up on the reading from Tuesday). I have a presentation to give next Thursday, see. I also read some material on folk groups. I went through my first chapter and fixed the references to meet Chicago style, as opposed to Carl style. I then mailed it to Dr. Ewen. I also read about folk groups, which was more than I needed to read, but interesting nonetheless. I did some other sundry things as well.
This morning I did dishes, after I got up, and had food, and eventually made myself do some work, which has mostly meant reading through my paper on pirate life ashore and figuring out what I will need to adapt to make it fit in to my thesis. I really like it as it stands, save that I need a better transition to the conclusion, so I'm not sure what I want to do. I just need to make sure it will actually fit with how I want my thesis to go, I suppose. So far I haven't dealt with the issue of determining whether pirates were a different social group/sub culture, or what. Maybe it would be best to investigate that at the end of this chapter, though I plan to introduce the question in my introduction. Still, I like the idea that I could have two chapters finished before the end of January.

I think I am going to go into school early today to do more readings, or just hang out if the books aren't available... I do need some form of lunch though. Buy or make, hmm?

ETA: Heard back form Dr T, listened to some french things, took (probably useless) notes.

Worked some on my 'shore life' bit, reorganizing intro, and so forth, and starting in on csub-culture-ness... Man, it is complicated! I don't want to write a whole other essay :/ I worked out a lot of what I need to do, now I just need to do it :p
