August 8th, 2017: Day 24

David Lewis really sparked up the morning meeting today. He brought in his projects from when he was an intern in 2014. Matt and David Lewis gave me and Paige notes for our presentation after we ran through it for them. Anjana was in the room too but I don't think she had too much to say. Dave and Roger came in during the morning so we could give another practice presentation to them.We decided to just run through it instead. The rest of the day was spent adding explanations to images and deciding who says what. Paige is remaking her massive map she stitched together from the VNIR images but this time it's going to be inverse colors. I think after that's done then our final days will be spent practicing the presentation.

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.
