9 More Days!!

I am so ready to go home! Mostly because I miss everybody but partly because of the drama that our group went through a few weeks ago. It was so weird, and I didn't even understand what was going on or even the reason. I lost my drive when that happened and since then I have just been counting down the days. Oh well but I am glad that we are still implementing this program at our school. It would have sucked if we couldn't share this experience with the students at ASU. Aside from that, today we are doing system tests. We have already calibrated our sensors which took longer than I thought it would, but i'm glad it's over. I'm trying to give more detailed checklists in the document for these tests and calibrations. I think I am just over thinking it. All I have to do is give a step by step list of what we will do during calibration and testing so I will do that later. Right now I will head back to the lab to finish up.

Aw mam I almost forgot to blog!

Man today has been hectic. I overslept and I keep fallin asleep in the class. I almost couldn't pay attention to the circuit explanation today. I need a nap, BAD! Anyway I need to get back to work because we have a presentation due on Monday which means we have to pretty much be done with the CDR by the weekend. That's almost impossible.

Disturbing Update

I promised an update and here it is. I had the chance to win yesterday because nobody else blogged!! Unfortunately I still lost cuz I blogged too late :( Can someone tell me how you can lose with no competitors? Anyway, Today was sort of a long day. Our group came up with a schedule to keep us on track this week, but I am slightly falling behind. We are supposed to finish our CDR by the time we go to bed Friday, start on our presentation on Saturday and finish it up on Sunday. However, I am still making little corrections to the Pre-CDR. It's becoming a pain because I leave out so much valuable information out the first time and it makes revising so drawn out. Hopefully I will be done with these things by about 10 or 11 tomorrow because that's the last day before the practice presentation that we get help from the experts.

This is great. We are finally getting some positive feedback instead of "change everything it's wrong". That's a relief. We won our first best in show award today, and it's helps us have convidence that we are doing somethin right so I am happy about that; however, I am also extremely upset about these blog awards!!! Can I not recieve my prize? Dang this is looking like a conspriracy or somethin. Why do I always make it to the ceremony just to lose, but when I win, i'm never on time. Last week was the last time that will ever happen to me. Oh yeah we had such a great time at Dr. Guzik's house on the fourth. We got in the pool, ate some great food, and looked a some fireworks (don't tell anybody about the fireworks). Anyway, that was a great break from all of the stress we've been having. Well I am now about to head to the lab for the awards! I will update you on who won :)

Moving right along

These documents are getting frustrating. I'm so tired of "correcting" mistakes in the PDR. Why can't we get our document right?!! We stayed awake for 2 days straight trying to get that document together and it still wasn't enough. On top of that, Cayla keeps winning the blog awards. This is just getting ridiculous. 10 weeks straight she has won the awards I mean come on Cayla give us a break. Forget to blog sometimes!! And if that's not bad enough, it's already time to do the Pre-CDR and if we can't get the basics, it will be hard to move ahead. Anyway i'm hoping it will get better. Today, Mr. Jim spent time helping Ashle' and me with our schematic designs, and I had no idea that they would be so easy to put together. I was quite suprised by that. Well let me try to handle some business before I head back down to the lab. Oh and by the way congrats on the PDR CSU...losers :)

Did I say blog awards?

I was so mixed up today. As a matter of fact, i've been mixed up all week. I actually thought today was Wednesday or that blog awards was on Tuesday....major disappointment. Well on another note, tonight is the last night we have with our Pre-PDRs before they are torn apart by the staff. I am hoping that each of our sections were extensive enough to be considered "complete". I have to admit that I am a little scared to hear what they may have to say about it. I hope everything is complete. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

This Darn Pre-PDR

Well we are moving along with our Pre-PDR. It has been kinda hectic trying to get everything accomplished and actually knowing if we are doing everything correctly. We are doing our best, but there has been a couple of disagreements along the way. For the most part, I feel like my group is very productive. Oh yeah I said my group. Just the other day, Nedgby was the team leader, but somehow I was "elected", but it's no big deal with me. Later tonight we are going to ham class to learn some more interesting facts. I can't wait!! :) Right now I am about to head to the lab for the blog awards!!
