Right Back at It

Hey everyone,

So I have been away at football camp for the last week. It was tiring, with three practices a day, but lots of fun. So now its time to get right back to work.

So to start off, the morning meeting was nothing special, but we did discuss some important things about upcoming events like the U of R kids visiting our labs and vise versa. Also we discussed the Bausch and Lomb trip. So then I headed to the labs to figure out what I had missed and what I would be doing today.

It was nothing big that I had missed, just some basic intro stuff. The group had begun checking the transcriptions of the many tapes under the Descriptions Experiment. However, all those had been checked so we moved on the the coding of the tapes. As I have said before, coding is a long, arduous process that is really boring... but it needs to be done. The nice thing is that you can work alone, so while your working you just pop on some head phones and rock out. It's really not that bad. So pretty much all of today was taken up by coding a video, and I got through a good chunk of mine. I was pretty impressed with myself that I remembered how to do it, after briefly learning it the first week and then having a week in which to forget it. So all in all it was a pretty good day and its good to be back. I'm sure that we will all miss AJ next week when he leaves for his Philmont trip.

I hope that tomorrow is lots of fun and we should get to see some pretty cool stuff at the Bausch and Lomb field trip. I can't wait!!

Keep it classy,
Matt
