Shoop and I were at the office at 8:50 AM. Since we were all
in the same flat it was easier to get coordinated in the morning (although we
still didn’t see Nick or Stefan until close to 9:45 AM). For the first bit of
the day, Shoop and I worked on Chapter 4 (results and discussions) and Chapter
5 (recommendations) of the paper. Once
Nick and Stefan arrived we worked on the paper all morning to finish the paper.
It was good and we were working as a team pretty well. At around lunch time we
broke to get some food as the paper was not getting finished. I went over to
the cafeteria and had some Doritos and this chick-AN sandwich. At around 1:20
PM we started on the paper again and it wasn’t until about 3 PM that we finally
finished combining everything and getting it tweaked. It was around 26 MB and
we had to put it on dropbox as we couldn’t email it to our advisors over
exchange. We then worked on the PowerPoint and got it done by about 5 PM. After
uploading it to dropbox (as it was 38 MB with all the photos in it). Since we
didn’t have the documents to Shockey and Ruiz until late we knew they wouldn’t
be able to get back to us with the feedback until later this weekend, so we are
taking tomorrow off! :D Yeah! 3 DAY WEEKEND!!!!!!! Anyways after work, Shoop
and I spoke to Katy quickly about taking the day off (she approved) and then we
came back to the flat. I had a snack and then put on my skates to skate to
Sainsburys. Emma had gotten me some inserts for the skates (gel ones) so I
don’t have the bolts on the bottom of the skate. They slotted right in without
any cutting what so ever. After skating around the flat a bit I was ready and
skated down to Sainsburys. At Sainsburys I spent more money than I ever have
this trip, as I spent £46 on food and drinks (I bought Emma a bottle of Jack
Daniels Honey which was about half of it). I did get enough food to make it
through the next week or so. Another expensive item was the Canadian maple
syrup I bought for pancakes. When I got back at around 6:40 PM, I still had about
50 minutes until Emma was going to show up so I put away my food and then
skated around outside in the courtyard. I have to say that I am really pleased
with how much better I have gotten at skating since the start of IQP. I am
really looking forward to skating a proper rink back in London and maybe over
in Denmark too. After that I showered and made my Chinese green curry chicken
(microwaved) and then made the pancake batter with many of the ingredients that
Marceli had left me (flour, baking powder and sugar). Then I mixed everything,
ate the curry and finally cooked some pancakes! AMERICAN STYLE! I even got Emma
to try syrup with the pancakes which she even thought were good. After all of
the pancakes and other food I just get to sit here and watch England play
Uruguay (which England is going to lose). Anyways it is a super chill time as
no work tomorrow. Later!
Homemade pancake mix!
Only a few left!
