Arecibo Observatory, Day 26 I've picked up the piping for my antennas and sent in a work order to get the ground plates cut. I think today I'll find a caliper and go in and measure the width of that thick copper wire and see what gauge it is, and then talk to Dana about starting to wind it. Hopefully there's a machine that'll make helices if I give it the right dimensions. We only have enough piping for one of the 995MHz antennas. Plenty of piping for the 700 MHz. I hope my simulations are relatively accurate. It would suck to produce this and then have it fail. I got my book from P.1. last night, so I can start studying for the physics GRE. Things to do: Email more graduate schools (woo! I actually started! holla that!) Study for the Physics GRE (seriously, just get to work on this) Talk to D. and G. about the next step, now that modeling is mostly done Measure the gauge of that wire Go to the 2pm meeting Go swimming at like 5pm after work (yay, pool!) Reduce WSTAR data (seriously, just do this stupid thing. It won't take long and it's easy and you really really really really really need to do it) Rewrite McNair paper for spring (gak!) Submit info for AIAA scholarship (woohoo! goodbye to my last loan and my work study!) I can get through this. And if I do, I'll be in good shape. AND I have the best reward ever: Twin is coming down to visit me!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!! she'll be here three days, and I have off for them, except for the meeting. Labels: Arecibo |

Stories I'm currently working on. | |||
***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited) ***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel) ***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage) ***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit) ***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series) ***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly) ***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys) ***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting) ***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang) ***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!) | |||
