The long days have begun

These past couple of days I have arrived at school at 7am and well it's a bit exhausting especially since I end up leaving like around 5 pm. From 7am-10am or 11am I'm in the lab after that I have classes until 1pm and after that I was in the lab 'till 5pm which is a pretty vast amount of time but it has its up sides. I have a somewhat good amount of my poster finished which is a good thing because those are a pain in the butt to do, not because they're hard but extremely time consuming. Since I was the first one to start my poster and had it saved on dropbox Matt and Josh told all the interns to use mine as the template which is totally find but now everyone's poster looks somewhat to mine, since they're all related :). Tomorrow I will be searching for a new template so that there won't be a resemblance with everyone else's, lets just hope I find one otherwise it would just look funny with everyone having the same poster.

On Wednesday I spent working in robotics, fixing some of the errors that the robot had encountered, since many of people there find themselves disagreeing with one another which is fine because that is process, the only problem was that things weren't getting done. I basically took the whole top part of the robot apart and build a newer version of it which I tried to make as symmetrical as possible, while also trying not to cut any pieces so it could be easily repaired or adjusted. Today since the robotics people were meeting up I showed them what I had done, at first they seemed a bit upset that I took it a part, but they soon came to realize that it was needed, since I wasn't there today to help them they worked on it themselves and I must admit they're off on a good path. Now that we had some ideas exchanged I now know what they want to do with the robot, before everything was done in a manner were only certain people knew what to do so it was hard for others to work on the robot without someone being there.

Anyways it's interesting to see how people interact with each other. I can always help as well if they need me :)
