July 17th, 2017: Day 8

Today we were missing some people, I think three but that's not excessively relevant. People in the group explained their projects more and we decided to start presenting abstracts tomorrow. There also was like a one minute meeting in here for staff and students that interns were not involved in but again, not excessively relevant. Paige and I are still working on our presentation for Dave to take to England. It's coming along and it's a lot better than it was the other day but we still have a long ways to go. We had to redo almost every plot and add in more information to fill in some gaps. A decent amount of time has been dedicated to just making the graph look nicer, editing sizes, alphabetizing the names of countries, placing titles and labels in a the center of the page, checking grammar, etc. This seems like a school project that's not being graded and is actually important. The presentation itself is not bad but it's really obvious that high school students made it. We lack professionalism and it shows in the presentation. It's mainly plots and images of our results, not many explanations are required so it's more of a visual thing than a reading thing. I'll add in some plots of Japan and likely Spanish Luzon to show all three of you what I've been doing all day and also all week.

They look good, right? I'm pretty proud of them.

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.
