It's really over...

So I just realized that I forgot to blog on wednesday and thursday. Oops. Sorry Joe! But anyways on Wednesday, I pretty much did my usual thing, finished up my powerpoint presentation which looked okay I guess. And then thursday we went to the U of R and did a run through our presentations and watched the U of R interns present their projects also. I thought some of them were pretty interesting. And we got free pizza =) so that's always a plus. Then I came back early to RIT and my advisor said he didn't have anything for me to do... so he told me to go home. And today, we had our final presentations. I think mine went fairly well I guess. I think all of the other interns did a really good job! Anyways after that, we got our posters and mine is kind of messed up. It looked fine on the powerpoint when I did it, but now some of my words are overlapped. =/ I had a really great experience during this internship and it was nice meeting all these new people. I will definately remember this as a positive experience. Well I guess this is my last and final blog, how sad... I hope all the other interns have an awesome senior year because I know I will !

Busy Busy Busy!

Today I kept busy pretty much all day, which was good. This morning, I did some measurements on the grating particles and measured diameter of the particles. Then I processed some film, went to lunch, and later on scanned those images. Then I did some analysis on those asbestos samples and the electron defraction samples. I also worked on threshold adjustment techniques. I measured the equalized image particles compared to the gray scale image particles and adjusted the threshold accordingly. Then I did +/- 10 and +/- 20 of the threshold and observed the changes in the diameters of the particles. I realized that +/- 10 doesn't really make a difference, but +/- 20 can really make a difference in the diameters of the particles. That's all for now!

Last Monday of the Internship

So today is the last Monday of this 7 week internship. Wow it went by fast, much like today. This morning I worked on the final draft of my poster so I could give it to Joe to be printed. I think it turned out pretty decent actually. I like the colors of my backgrounds. They go well together. Anyways, after I finished my poster, I worked on some particle analysis and developed a lot of film. After that I went to lunch and came back to do the scanning of the images I processed this morning. While I was doing that, I filled out the College of Imaging Science 2008 Summer Intern Feedback form. I wrote a lot of stuff down. Then I worked on making a histogram using excel. And that's pretty much my day!

Friday!

Today was pretty short for me. This morning I developed some film and did some image analysis on the pictures that I scanned yesterday. Then I went to lunch with my mom. After that, I scanned the images I developed this morning and did some analysis on those. And that's pretty much it. There was nothing else for me to do in the lab so I got out early today. Only one more week to go... it went by so fast.

August 14th

So here's my blog for today:

Today was a very slow day. This morning, I finished scanning the pictures I developed from yesterday. And then I processed some more film. After that I went on a short lunch. When I came back, I scanned the images that I processed today. I feel like this is all I do. But that's ok. And now I have to leave early for my dentist appointment =/ boo.

August 13th

Well I forgot to blog yesterday, so here is yesterday's blog:

So today we went on a field trip to Optimax. We normally take one of those white golden memories buses. So it looked like an ordinary bus, one we would normally ride on. But as soon as we walked onto the bus, everyone went nuts. It turned out to be a party bus... there was a leather couch running all the way around the inside of the bus, sparkling colored lights on the ceiling, mirrors, radio, window blinds, tv's. It was amazing. I think it was nicer than the party bus that we took to prom, sadly. But anyways that was mad fun. When we got to Optimax, we got a brief presentation and then split up into 4 groups and had a tour of some of the stations in the manufacturing section. And I guess I shouldn't say any more because I might get my head chopped off for saying something I'm not supposed to. (I wonder if I was supposed to write about Bausch and Lomb earlier... oops). But yeah and then we got a free pair of sunglasses, a lens, and a beer coozie? Ha. And on the way home, we stopped at Amiel's again. They have good cookies.

And for the remainder of the day, I processed some film, and scanned a couple of images. And thats pretty much it! I'll blog later about what I did today!

One of those days...

Today was one of those days that I thought would never end. This morning, all I did was work on my poster and then I showed it to Joe. After that, I made some changes to my poster and started my PowerPoint Presentation. Then I went to lunch. I went to go sit on the red chairs down in the lobby to read, but then i realized that they had moved them and replaced them with tables for the Girl Scout thing, so I didn't have a place to read =/. But anyways after lunch, I did some more work on my PowerPoint. And when I got sick of that I did some image analysis. Can't wait for tomorrow's field trip!
