We watched another video in the morning meeting, less corny and all but it still made me laugh. Paige and I ran some more scans on new data for the Selden Map, VNIR 1 and VNIR 5. Neither of us found too much more information but got closer to finding out the name of the two faded ports. The Taiwan port remains a mystery because it was so unclear and difficult to read but the port in Banda is less faded and it's easier to trace. We found some more words that could relate to it; distant and dynasty being two of the most relevant. I don't think that we'll be able to get a definite answer on what the ports are named but finding characters that could relate is still relevant. Paige and I scoured the internet and several dictionaries to find these symbols and are making fascinating discoveries. It's kinda neat seeing how what just look like lines, come to form words with meaning. That sounded dumb, I know that all words have meaning, but I meant along the lines of what we're doing. We also made a presentation for Dave to send to Bob/Robert Batchelor. It's a pretty good presentation, I'd have to say. Tomorrow I'm on my own so my blog might be less exciting, just a heads up. Catch ya later :)
The morning meeting wasn't too bad today, we finished up the abstracts and had a good chat. Paige and I had the most eventful morning we've ever had, we got to go to all four floors and visit all of the labs trying to find people. We also talked to Ryan to let him know how disappointed we were with him but he's fine. We've been putting the final touches on the presentation and it looks pretty good. Peter, Ashley, and Tristan came up for lunch and we analyzed life's deepest mysteries like if Peter's shorts were shorter than mine, which they definitely were, and each others social media pages. It was a pretty good lunch. I've been doing a lot of reading today in the absence of work. Going back and forth between a dry book and a semi-dry presentation is absolutely exhilarating. Paige has been making a lot of small changes to the slides and I'm good with that, they aren't major and she's right to do most of them so I'm glad she sees some of these
