july 6th

Since Friday, I have lost almost $1500...

So I was hesitant to start any new trades this week, since I was a little confused about the markets and the holiday weekend. I didn't want to do anything with the dollar in case there was random changes as a result of the long weekend. Today, I put in a long EUR/USD and a GBP/USD, thinking that everything should be back to normal by now. Instead, I ended up being wrong on both counts and lost a lot of money as a result. I'm still not sure why I was so wrong, since I thought dailyfx said the dollar was doing poorly and I saw an analyst say these trades were good options. Clearly, I should have sticked to my original feelings and just not traded at all. Since trading ends tomorrow, I think I'll just stop altogether and wait for the next round to start.

At the Museum, Alex, Ashraf and I forever continued to work on the Kid's Program and our Choose Your Own Adventure Story. We're trying to organize everything in an easy-to-follow booklet, so now we're converting our ridiculously complex flow chart into an organized powerpoint. We completed the outline today, and in the afternoon tomorrow we'll transfer everything to numbered slides that can be printed out.
We also spent a bit of time in the afternoon going through the boxes from the storage room by the auditorium figuring out what everything is. A bunch of high school interns just started so they helped label the boxes with post-it notes. Some of the books actually had object IDs, so we put them aside so they could be accounted for in PastPerfect.
