Premature accolades

It has come to my attention that I was a bit premature in declaring victory over Leina's thesis. Alas, this battle has not yet subsided. While I stand factually by each and every word of the previous report, the fact that she had turned in her thesis was not intended to imply that it had been accepted. She's close, though. Today she met with her advisor for two and a half hours and the good news is that Leina only needs to interview two more people and do some more research--two poeple with whom she has already scheduled appointements, I might add.

Leina was really sick last week but she is feeling better. Leina always shares her leftovers with Angie and Angie gratefully accepts and showers her with accolades. But when Angie cooks and offers to share her victuals with Leina, Leina never takes her up on it. Perhaps she doesn't like Angie's cooking, but we know she does because if she didn't, then she definitely would eat Angie's cooking to be nice. And that's unlikely, too; Angie may be a little heavy-handed with the salt but she is an excellent cook. So Angie made chicken soup for Leina the other day, offered some to Leina who was sick, and, of course, was denied.
