July 19th, 2017: Day 10

During the morning meeting today Joe attempted to look up my house of Google Maps but unfortunately, the car did not drive down my street. We did three more abstracts today and they were all pretty good. Paige and I will be the second one done tomorrow so we'll give it a final review later today. Dave isn't here today so we're on our own and doing extra things to add to the presentation. I just finished a slide that has 12 chips of the map all compared to the red pigment of the chrysanthemums in Japan. I'll add that in at the bottom after I finish this. Paige is working on comparing chips of the map to a blue pigment and using the island off Southwest Sumatra as reference. Yesterday she did the same thing using green pigments and put together a map and I'm attempting to do the same but there are far less red pigment on the map so the SAM image is usually white with a small amount of black or grey. I'll add that image in later too. I guess all we have left to do with the presentation is touch-ups, we have two days to finish it before Dave leaves for England and we have some good information on there, or at least I think it's good. We added some more slides and this presentation is looking pretty fire. Happy to say it's almost done!!
I couldn't save my slide as a file so I had to screenshot it and there is not a crop option so I'm sorry for the entire image.

Outline

August 4th, 2017: Day 22

I'm sorry about the late blog post but I've been quite busy today. The group read mine and Paige's outline during the morning meeting. She keeps telling me I don't contribute and that I'm useless but insists that I explain the outline and answer questions so I'd like an explanation about that, Paige. This morning we worked on our presentation mostly. We put together slides and got images ready. My best friend was on campus today for a college and major exposition or whatever the program is so we got lunch and I told her all about the internship and the wonderful people I've met. I got very into detail about the Lunch Bunch, I was very excited to tell her all about them. I also told her about my project and Paige, Dave, and Roger. After she left I went back inside and worked a little more on the presentation. We don't have as much data for the palimpsest as we did for the Selden Map so that section is going to be much shorter, or at least it is for now. I...

August 7th, 2017: Day 23

We actually finished all 12 outlines today!! It was thrilling. Paige and I have been cutting our 65 page presentation down to, what is now a 32 page one. Dave and David Lewis still think we need to cut it down and I'm upset about it. 15 minutes isn't enough time to explain everything we've done these past few weeks and it's sad that all of our work isn't going to be displayed. There isn't a whole lot to be said about today, other than we worked on our presentation. Tomorrow we're giving a practice presentation tomorrow with Dave and Roger. That will probably be most of my blog tomorrow.
