done list

[trochee]

(why is it that the future uses the infinitival tense? we don't call it a "will-do list" or a "might-do" list or -- perhaps it would be the most appropriate modal -- "ought-do list". Anyway, this is a list of what I did, simple past:)

• revised paper for resubmission tomorrow (they only gave us a week to do revisions, and none of us had any time)
• finished Collins replication, part 1
• started collins replication, part 2
• went to lab meeting, listened to CSE grad student discuss her research (opinion mining)
• planned further about chapter 5 (currently masquerading as a class project): looks like we'll bootstrap from a 5xRT ASR system
• discussed previously mentioned data problems with advisor; will re-run the easy parts with larger data set.
• overscheduled self: next week I am up for (1) possibly going to [pretentious NE U] for a planning meeting and somehow at the same time staying here for visit from [expensive W-Coast U] team
• overscheduled self, part 2: scheduled to be dog [and possibly pony too] in dog-and-pony show for corporate visitors interested in my research area
• wrote a whiny very nice email to big shot asking please please please share your code with me so I don't have to implement it! Actually, I think it was quite polite.
• looked at getting a helmet so I can go scoot with imtboo

Am now just waiting for Collins, p. 2 to finish so that I can log out and go home. I'm done! I'm going home without internet. Until tomorrow, peeps!

You mean Northerners who fall in love with double modals can't adopt them and try to promulgate them?

Woe is I.

I feel for you. I bin real happy till they done told me i not black enough to speak AAE.

And so i'm restricted to a very rigid, underdescriptive set of tenses and aspects. I must say, it's quite disappointing.

Hee. I sound hilariously bad trying to speak AAVE. I am way, way, way too white, Northern and bourgeois to pull it off.
