2005-03-09, 08:20 PM — oooh, running commentary!
And the race is on. Our subject is trying to get everything done by the 18th of March, and we see that she is far, far behind the mark she set for herself on Monday. Her Tuesday tasks have yet to be completed, although one of her Wednesday tasks is finished, but in a rather sketchy state.
The main challenge she's going to have this week and most likely next is the sheer size of the data file she has collected. There are numbers, people, many, many numbers. Each one means something and each one is important... and none of them are making any sense.
Yes, folks, this is going to be the race of her degree, and it should be fascinating to watch. Will she get it done? Will she go crazy and start eating the paint off F-Block's computer lab walls? Will she quit and slink back to Waterloo in shame?
Stay tuned! Whatever happens, it's bound to be entertaining for those not writing a thesis!

It's the first day of March.
This means I have exactly one month left to finish my thesis, and thus be done school. Well, I have two papers beyond that, but hopefully they'll be done too.
This also means that I have exactly one month and a half before I become, for the first time, someone who has seen and spent time on a different continent.
Two months until I move back in with fishy, completing one full year of not living with him.
Two and a half months until invitations go out.
Three months until I can harvest my very first crops from my very own garden.
And six months and three weeks until the big fancy wedding day.
2005-02-22, 07:42 PM — report: grilled chicken ceasar
Report on my attempt to create a grilled chicken ceasar salad:
Real bacon for bacon bits: two thumbs up
Grilling chicken with Diana sauce in George Foreman Grill: half a thumb up (issues with overcooking)
Red onions included: no thumbs up (surplus issue)
Red peppers included: two thumbs up
Kraft Creamy Ceasar dressing: two thumbs up (mostly because it was better than I expected it to be)
Kitchen mess to clean up now: two thumbs waaaaay down
Experiment: a qualified success.
Note to self: try not to spray bacon grease ALL over the stove next time bacon is frying.
