Finals Work

For work yesterday, I never actually went into the office. Instead, I attended the Senior Design Project presentations, which included a luncheon afterward, and breakfast beforehand. It was quite the affair, for sure. Luckily I happened to dress nice that day--everyone else was in suits. It would have been quite embarrassing to show up in my usual t-shirt and jeans.

I listened to five projects and recorded them on tape. They were all really neat. One was a cooling branch for lemurs in a conservatory in Florida to lay on. Another was a device that alerted nurses if an ICU patient's bed had been past a certain vertical angle for too long.

I'll be writing an article on all of them, but without any direct quotes, I think. It'll be too hard to separate speakers, and I didn't get any interviews. I wonder if I should have been more thorough. Perhaps I'll email Emad for a quote of what he thought about how the presentations went, and how the projects as a whole went this year. That'll help give it a little color.

I may work for three hours tomorrow instead of two. I haven't decided. I may run tomorrow. I haven't decided. Maybe I'll swim. Maybe I'll do none of that, and just tutor for two hours.

I feel like I have so much to do that I'm just avoiding it all and hoping it all goes away.

I can't wait for summer.
