Wednesday

Today first thing Tyler and I started with the PowerPoint we got a lot done but need to do more. I got to use the asd all by myself for the first time. At 10 we went to a thesis defense and it was pretty interesting. After getting back from that we finished the PowerPoint. Around 230 I presented my PowerPoint and I think it was a success!

Tuesday

Today Tyler and I had the task of making a PowerPoint all about materials for use as targets. This is all we worked on today and it was slow we have to finish it tomorrow to present it at 2

Monday

Today I went to hemlock lake to take measurements at the test sites. I got the job of using the gps but we were haveing a lot of trouble getting satellites. For lunch I thought I brought ham but it was some thing none of us had ever heard of so I sat there and starved. Getting to be out of the office and working outside was alt of fun I wish I could do it more..but maybe on flatter land with less bugs.

Friday

It was slow this morning and I didn't do a whole lot. At 11 I went outside for lunch till like 1240 and then I just went home. That was about it

Thursday

Today was another boring day with not a lot to do because the trip to hemlock got canceled due to weather. We now hope to go monday. I found out that the person who designed the thermal target I want will be at RIT Tuesday so I hope to talk to him. I would also like to see if I can go to Alabama and actually help with the target and see how they build it that way I can create a good presentation on it. So we shall see. But yeah other than that I sat here and then at 4 I went to a presentation on eye tracking which was kind of neat.

Wednesday

Today we went to the wetlands with some
Environmentalist..I don't like them because everyone I killed something it as like they wanted to kill me... We sat around for a while because the laptop was dead and no one knew what they were doing. Also it was very awkward and silent It was a waste of time. After that I just went home because I was so tired from standing outside all day doing nothing. Never doing that again

Tuesday

Today I did a whole lot of nothin and then I went to mighty taco..after that I got my intern challenge and partner and I'm pretty sure we solved it first. That was about it

Monday

Today I had my meeting with Carl and it was pretty interesting. I presented him my ideas for the thermal target and he presented his. He had me email someone who has a good target design and through a few emails I got some real good I formation. Today I went to the garden again and today I took asd measurements of te plants. Te rest of the day I sat at the computer

Friday

I finally got to scan my pieces of wood with the asd. The rest of the day was slow and I just did some research on my thermal target.

Thursday

Today was Long. I spent the whole day doing asd scans. in the morning I got to go to the garden again but the lidar was broke. When I got back I did more asd scanning samples of felt and things. I did not get to my wood.
