errand circle 

Completing various errands that require one to travel all over one's town, often in no particular order, and with new errands popping up in between the ones that were planned ahead of time. The location of the stops do not necessarily make a circle, and stopping at one particular place more than once can be considered part of the circle.
Man, I covered every street in town with that errand circle, and I must've stopped at Wal-Mart at least three times!

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
