Data Entry

On Monday I woke up, ran at 7am and did a 20 minutes workout. Perfect start to a day. When I was finished Suzie was still asleep. I decided to prepare myself for the day. At 11am we headed for the UB library. While there I tried to fix the Epi Info database but after 4 hours I realized that the file was corrupted and was exhausted. We then went home at 5 and Suzie decided to reenter the Epi Info since I felt so frustrated with the program. By 9pm the Epi Info had been redone and I decided to do a 30-minute workout. As I headed out to the balcony I looked up and saw the largest spider I had ever seen. After running back inside and refusing to workout outside I decided to do my workout in the living room. Lately there have been more spiders coming out so maybe that’s the big mom or something. Either way I was inside and it was outside. After my workout I headed to bed.

            Tuesday morning was much the same. I woke up to do a 20-minute kickboxing workout. After that I readied myself for the day. By 10am I had began entering the data into Epi Info. At 12pm Suzie headed to the library while I stayed home working on the Epi Info until 3pm.  Suzie then came in at 3:30pm and continued working on the data entry. We are coming to the end.

            On Wednesday Suzie left to go get her boyfriend while I continued working on data entry. By the time she came back it was 2:30pm and since they had arrived late they decided to go and get lunch. By 7pm they returned. By then I had prepared dinner and was watching “Captain America”. I don’t understand how they have movies that have just opened in the U.S playing on TV. Gotta love the black-market.  At night, Suzie entered some surveys and we went to bed.

            On Thursday, Suzie and her boyfriend left for their vacation in San Ignacio and are supposed to return tomorrow afternoon, while I continued working on entering the surveys. I also tried opening up the work that Suzie added but could not locate it and had to start re-entering data. Thinking that Suzie would return to Belmopan on Friday evening so that I could get help at entering the remaining data I was instead informed that I wouldn’t be getting any help since Suzie would be staying that Friday night and coming on Saturday morning. Thus the remaining time was spent on entering the houses into Epi Info. We have officially completed 155 households. Data analysis will begin this weekend.
