July 14th,2017: Day 7

Today has been a little slow, I've been in the reading room alone all day messing with the presentation Paige and I have been making. I haven't had anyone to talk to, except during lunch when people come in. I got a lot done with the presentation, fixed some graphs and alphabetized the locations. I've been bumping to some music instead of talking which is a good time but I'd rather talk to Paige. I can't wait until Monday so she's back. My day is going to be cut short today, I'm leaving around 2. My brother and dad are coming to pick me up from here to take me home for the weekend. I feel bad for leaving and not having any materials to work on anything while I'm at home but it's not that big of a deal, I suppose. I haven't been home in a week so I'm a little anxious to make it back. I miss everyone, especially my cat, George. I'll try to work on my abstract over the weekend, it needs a lot of work so I'm a little bit panicked for Monday but I'm sure it'll be fine.

July 25th, 2017: Day 14

I have nothing to report about the morning meeting. We got new data from Roger and we spent a lot of the time just making image cubes. We also visited the 3D printer to make a part that Peter and Ashley needed while our files were loading. Today has mainly consisted of renaming things and making image cubes and asking David Lewis for help. Thank goodness for David Lewis. We haven't created any new images so unfortunately nothing exciting to post in the blog today..

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...
