Progress report: This weekend I discovered that my packing brain should not have been permitted to go any where near my uni work. I ran one final experiment in December, and analysed on 21 Dec, just before finishing up packing all of my possessions to go into storage. On the day I did the analysis I recorded that the smaller of the two capsules, which has no garnet in it, was the NM composition. The other capsule contained anthophyllite. Every other sample which contains anthophyllite is the NP composition. This weekend I finally sat down to do the last of the data processing for that sample and discovered that when I converted the sample names from the codes of "small" and "large" to actually showing the "NM" and "NP" labels I somehow did it backwards, and said that the one without garnet was NP and the one with anthophyllite was NM. Ooops.

Of course I discovered this error when it was time to get ready to head out the door to gaming on Saturday. Gaming was followed by a 1.5 hour drive to archinonlive's brother's house for the brother's wife's birthday. This was the last of his siblings I've met, and I am please to report that I like all of them. They are all intelligent, articulate people who carry on interesting conversations in fluent English.

Sunday was folk dancing, and much fun as always, so I didn't get around to fixing the above mentioned error till today. But it is now fixed (after triple checking that it was, in fact an error) and I am ready to move on to the next step in actually getting this research turned into a paper.

Today I accomplished laundry, uni work, and tonight was the other folk dancing class, and was also much fun. Afterwards I read another couple of pages in the Swedish Children's book we are working on. My pronunciation is getting better, but still needs much help.

Tomorrow I have uni work to do, and Swedish language class to attend, and in the evening choir practice. No wonder I'm not posting as often as I used to do...
