August 14th, 2017: Day 28

The morning meeting was pretty relaxed, people turned in their presentations. Paige and I are still making some last minute changes to ours. The morning was spent editing the presentation and then we gave another practice one in the auditorium. It was 17 and a half minutes this time so we added enough information in. We added things in during lunch. We found Roger so I could get his hard drive and finish downloading more C73 files to work on for the next two days. I think we've done a really good job with our presentation. I'm proud of the results. We finished it around 2 and gave it to Joe. The rest of the day we spent making image cubes for Roger and putting together results for Todd Hanneken. Tomorrow we have the run-throughs of our presentations in the morning. I'm really excited to stutter in front of everyone!!!! I'll post about it tomorrow.

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..

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...
