Minor Things, Major Things, Other Things

The last few days (since my last post) have been mildly adventurous, or as adventurous as anything associated with me can be.

Waiting Again

So, the other day Dr. Zimmermann told me my methods were crappy. She gave me some suggestions as to how to fix them, with which I thoroughly revised that chapter and had it into her mailbox by 7:30 the next morning (yesterday).

Damn revisions and unnecessary stress

Ugh, I'm irritated by the direction my thesis process has gone.

Religion and other afterthoughts

Remember how I said it'd get ugly?

The Muncie List

As promised, this is the list of things that I'll actually miss about Muncie or Indiana. Remember, I've lived here for all of my almost 24 years, so sentimentalism and sappy-hood will reign supreme. This list will be updated up until moving, with perhaps some additional reflection a while after the fact. And remember, this is pre-move, which means I don't have any clue what we'll encounter, and some of these things I haven't enjoyed in years anyway.

What a Friend I Have in Jesus

Something of note from the past couple of days... Amy and I have been bickering about religion, again, as always. She's part of the Church of Christ, which is this really conservative fundamental church which believes in scriptural infalliability to the point that omission from the scriptures is a direction.

Sentimentalism

Some minor news first: Dr. Schwartz wrote me an email, telling me that I had been approved for the defense, and that the defense would take place on Tuesday the 21st at 8:00 am. Second day of second summer, but it's no big deal. At least I'm approved, which means there are NO MAJOR PROBLEMS.

Inching Closer and the Mind Wanders

Thesis progress... Everything is turned in to Dr. Schwartz so that he can look it over for corrections except for the discussion and conclusion sections. For those sections, I'm hoping to get his suggestions on the results before I really write those. So, I'm kind of at a stopping point for the moment.... hence, the blog entry.
