A Window Into My Soul….Archive for July, 2009
Just trust your instincts
Haven’t written in a while. Thought I’d update. We have moved our experiment to the solvent shed rather than the lab roof because we actually have access to it. So, because the drain is the same size, the calculations were altered and the plants are being ordered. The only negative is that our professor is leaving for vacation for the next two weeks so we will have to be on our own. That can prove to be both good and bad. On the one hand it will help me develop my research skills but on the other I really don’t want her coming back and being unsatisfied with what I have done so far. So..I have mixed feelings. ..we’ll see how it goes
patience is a virtue…
so i’ve been slacking on this blog thing a little, I’m going to step it up in the coming weeks. I went home last weekend but this weekend I’m going to stay put and observe how Delaware does July 4th. Planning to travel to Philadelphia and Baltimore to broaden my intellectual horizons. Look for future posts to update this experience…
This week I presented my findings and preliminary design of the flow measuring device and have just finished constructing it with the help of Mr. George Whitmyer. It looks just like my predicted design and I am excited to put it into action either tomorrow or next week. Yes, I may be the only person to actually come in on July 3rd. I’m just that dedicated I guess. I need to get a camera so that I can pictorially demonstrate my creations. I’ll work on getting one this weekend….
The week was almost entirely sprent on designing the flow measuring device so that’s why I don’t have that much to report otherwise. It is 9 inches high, with a 25 degree angle, and symmetrical on both sides of a 3-inch PVC pipe. Thats the best I can describe it without showing it to you…
