July 26th, 2017: Day 15

  Today's morning meeting was exciting, truly exhilarating. I have so much to report. Anjana told the group about what she is doing in her lab and why she requires charcoal. Nate told us a little bit about what he's doing in the kLab. He said he'll bring in his laptop on Friday to show the group some of his code and images. Paige and I were asked what The Jubilee's Palimpsest is, our latest project but we never received a concrete answer on that so we'll ask around. After the staff meeting, we went to help Titus and Aditi gather more information for their project. We went to the athletic complex and the ice rink with Peter and Ashley while tracking each others eye movement. The only thing I know about the experiment is that we were going to unfamiliar places. Pretty riveting stuff, I'd have to say.
  Today I mainly made image cubes and got a few results that I'll post later. My computer has been acting up lately and it's getting really frustrating. It's been freezing or loading results too slowly so it takes me a long time to get things done. After lunch Titus came and told me that he needed me to redo some of the testing I did last Friday. I was pushed around the building in a chair, then a cart, about 6 or 7 times. I walked a few of them as well but the pushing was much more fun. None of the data was saved so I'm being summoned another day to redo everything again. I just want it to be over so Titus and Aditi can finally tell me why I'm being asked to do this, if they told me before the data was collected then I would be biased and the results would become invalid. I really want to know.
For the rest of the day I've been awaiting Roger to ask him some questions. I've been struggling a little bit but it's getting somewhat better. Tomorrow is the field trip so I won't improve my skills by much but Friday I'll be back at it. I think this is my longest blog post.. Possibly because I decided to divide it into paragraphs today or simply because I'm adding filler words such as "decided to" or "simply".

July 20th, 2017: Day 11

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

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
