July 21st, 2017: Day 12

I honestly want to die, I just deleted my post. So in recap we looked at VNIR and SWIR but we helped Aditi and Titus and I was pushed around in a chair and Paige and I made a hat for Peter. I don't want to retype all of this so I'm sorry for the short post today, Joe and or Mom. UPDATE: Monday were switching to Roger and his work so I'm pretty excited. I wrote this post while I was really upset so i apologize for the dramatic and curt writing

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..

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...
