Light Day

Didn't buy much

Purchase wise, not much going on, but my teaching schedule is definitely on afterburner on Wednesdays. All I bought today was a quick breakfast at a local gas station. A coffee refill and a sausage egg and cheese biscuit.

My Guess: 2.5 mE
Actual: 2.65 mE

Need Benchmarks

As I'm 3 days into this project, I'm beginning to realize that to get really good at this, I have to start comparing guess prices to the confirmed prices of things I've paid for. Without doing it on purpose, I'm thinking of the dollar price, then trying to convert in my head. What I need to be doing is more like, "A tank of gas is about 22 mE, and this should be about the same as a tank of gas." Maybe it would be good to have a few benchmarks (Lunch, Six-Pack, Premium bottle of wine, Dinner Date, High-end computer, New car, Median house) to review from week to week to get my bearings.
Also, it's a lot harder to get your bearings when Ethereum is having the week that it is. Wild price fluctuation (thank goodness, in the right direction) are playing havoc with my psychology project.
