Progress Log - Spring 2006

------------------------------------------------------

I have, for your pleasure, a calendar of the semester outlining my thesis work schedule. While I anticipate it will not go even nearly as well as planned, it provides an overview of what I plan to accomplish for my final presentation. I am even going to post a calendar of the whole month of January and the activities therein.

**Edit: You may notice that the schedule has been shifted already to make room for the interview schedule I had planned. For this reason, everything got slightly backed up, but will be on track fairly soon. Posting of progress will continue throughout the semester, so check back.

------------------------------------------------------

All other activites throughout the Spring semester took place sporadically, and then in variable fashion (i.e. no task was specifically completed with another beginning, but all of them started and finished in hodge-podge order). The last four weeks of thesis (three days before the end of Spring Break - March 9th - and ending the day of my presentation - April 10th) contained workdays anywhere between 8 hours and upwards of 24 dependent on the task and proximity to the "due date". Any inquiry regarding specific activities can be made to Steven Puchek at stp140 with the typical @psu and the .edu.
