• I needed to read all the literature about this
  topic, and obviously the article they did.
• All the time, I'm asking myself a lot of
  questions, but in this particular case the main
  one is Nowadays ... are the results the same?.
• I showed the answer is yes but ... ALL THE
  PROCEDURES TO OBTAIN THE RESULTS ARE NOT THE SAME
  !!!.
• I'll play with some parameters to compare them
  with previous results.
• I'll propose selection criteria for the new
  objects.
• I'll discuss, and conclude the final results.
• I'll change whatever is needed to change, in
  order to write both an article and my master
  thesis.
• If all these things have been done by the end of
  my staying ... I'll be happy.
