ok, so apparently when you pass a defense you have to spend four or five days revising it. It is still not where I want it, but my Thesis Adviser is willing to sign off on it. I am not sure how I feel about this, I'll talk to him about it via email today.
I finally bought StepSister no. 1's graduation present yesterday. It became one of those errands I needed to do but could never remember to.
now I must go get my homework done. The non-thesis kind I've been putting off.
