Day 38 6/16/14 (Just another manic Monday, lowered expectations, steak)

So today was really a struggle. Everything was a mess from our project working today to trying to buy tickets for the trip back to London to making steak. The morning was working on the paper and then we realized our paper was going to take so long. Then we decided that we still needed to deal with a few loose ends of the paper. It was annoying as the comments from Shockey and Ruiz told us that basically we have a lot of work to do, but only generic ideas of how to go about the writing. So we took a lunch and I got this chicken sandwich and some sweet chili Doritos. It wasn’t as good as it sounds. After lunch we worked on the paper and tried to get some feedback from Katy and Peng on our recommendations. They definitely gave us a bit to work on and we were not going to finish the report today. We sent Shockey and Ruiz an email asking them to kindly give us an extra day to work on it. We are not doing so well on the project, at least not in terms of the writing up of the project. I think it has to do with how I see our project relative to other projects that accomplished so much more in terms of surveying and whatnot. I think we also should keep the fact that we lost almost 2 weeks at the beginning of the project in mind. So I hope it gets better. I even struggled during dinner prep when I was cooking steaks (which turned out alright), but I put a nice big scratch in it with my knife. IT WAS A PRISTINE PAN :( SADNESS. That was about all of the struggles of the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I hope.

Steak, pasta and corn for dinner!
