Progress report

I think I'm going to start doing these again, to make myself more aware of all I have, and haven't been achieving. I'm not going to write out the latter though - it will just make me cranky. So expect at least one per week.

So for last week, then:

Reading:
Jack Greene's Pursuits of happiness
the VanHorn thesis on 18th century ship construction
first 60 pages of Material Life in America

NSF:
I don't think I got a whole lot done this week - I went over bits and tried to smooth them out some
I did start working on the historical background section to make it more relevant.
My draft summary is done, as done as it can be until I get more of the project description done

School Logistics:
Sent emails to schedule my prelims. have yet to hear back from any proffs :p
Also had bi-weekly meeting with Dr. H and set up a more formal format for the next ones. E-mailed her a reading schedule.
Talked to Kevin about prelims and such
Sent reading list to Donny, revised list to Kevin

HIAS:
Replied to some random e-mails.
