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 emailed Todd Hanneken, the scholar who studies the Jubilees at St. Mary's of Texas, and he gave us a good background about the document and told us some helpful things. I left at 2:30 to go home for the weekend so I didn't see what Paige did in the later afternoon. She told me that she talked to Dave about shortening the presentation down to about 20 slides so I guess we'll worry about that Monday. I'll look at what she's done later tonight when I'm freaking out about the presentation at 3 in the morning. It's just like school! I'm excited to start practicing and seeing everything come together but I'm sad that we have less than two weeks left.. Joe, you also missed a thrilling day of squirrel jerky and I'm sure you're just dying to know where it came from... you'll just have to wait until Thursday to find out.
