last day-->presentation time!

The last day was very nerve wrecking. I was really anxious and nervous, but when it was all over and done with I felt so much better. Afterwards I went out to lunch at Applebee's with the interns and the rest of the people in the insight lab, then I decided to go back to work and help them gather what was theirs from the other two rooms we worked in throughout the summer. I'm sad to see the internship come to an end, it has been a pleasure working with everyone and I hope that I will see them all again.

day thirty-four-->practice, practice, practice

Today I finished up my presentation and did a practice run with the rest of the interns.

day thirty-three-->working

Today I worked on finishing my slide show for Friday. It was hard I must admit, especially since I had no other person in my group to discuss my ideas with, but it worked out fine. I talked to Joe and Bob about it and they helped out quite a bit which made a big difference in my presentation. By the end of the day, most of my slides were done. Now all I have to do is add some extra details to them and come up with a script. I should be done before the run-throughs tomorrow.

day thirty-two-->pretty nice day

Today some of the interns and I went to a hologram class where we were told the difference between holography and photography. Also they took us down in the basement where we made our own holograms, which was pretty cool. From there we went to lunch and then went to a meeting with Jake where we did practice presentations for Friday. I still have some more work to do before then though.

day thirty-one-->technical difficulties

I spent most of today reassembling the cube with some of my peers. It didn't take us that long to do, but the hard part was connecting the projectors to the computer and finding all of the necessary cords. We still have some problems, but we have until Friday to work them out so I'm not worried about it.

day thirty-->figuring out what to do

Today I basically got a feel for what I'm suppose to finish up for next week's big presentation. I also found out that I have to come up with some kind of method for people to come and see my powerpoint, this is going to be very challenging. On the other hand, I have to get some information from Jake reguarding the cube and its purpose (things of that sort), which shouldn't be that hard. So far, everything has been running fairly smooth, which I like, but I think next week will be somewhat of a challenge.

day twenty-nine-->dey-jah-vew

Stuck on the same things I've been stuck on for the past two days. Nothing has changed at all.

day twenty-eight-->same thing

Today was a lot like yesterday except I don't know what slide show we have to do for next Wednesday.

day twenty-seven-->just like yesterday

Today I continued to check over the presentation and I also had a viewer comment on my slides. They helped me a lot because they noticed many things I did not, and I helped them become more aware of things they should be paying attention to while creating a presentation of their own.

day twenty-six-->double checking work

Most of today, well yesterday, consisted of looking over the presentation to check for its accuracy and continuity. I also jotted down some possible questions that the audience might have, so I can find out the answers ahead of time.

day twenty-two-->editing the cube

Today we spent the whole day editing the cube to make it look more interesting and professional. In addition, we had some representatives from the Rochester Museum and Science Center come and observe our work. They seemed very intrigued and excited about the cube and even made suggestions. I thought our whole day ran smoothly.

day twenty-one-->flash of light

Today, well yesterday, we added the questions for all three animals onto the cube. Also we had some more incoming freshmen visit us. They asked us many questions reguarding how we set up the cube and how we put all of our information on it.
All of the interns went to the University of Rochester's laser lab. One of our tour guides either didn't come or didn't make it. I think they just didn't come, but that's besides the point. We got a thorough tour of the laser lab and had the opportunity to watch a flash on the TV screen, which was very dull, but the count down was fun, so I guess that made it worth it.
