Everyone
has returned from Turkey! Which was great from me, and horrible for my
deadline. The reconstruction's I had completed have turned out to be the
"rough drafts." I couldn't have expected much better considering I was
doing these alone for the first time. I am now in the process of redrafting
all of my reconstruction's. I have spent this week learning to unfold layers
via paper. To unfold units you take the folded section and slice it up
into strips, so the section can basically be pulled flat. The hardest part
of unfolding is mimicking it on Adobe Photoshop. What takes a few minutes
to do on paper has taken hours to do on the computer. However this technique
does work in unfolding the units, even if it takes awhile. So know I have
been able to get my units completely straight.
HURRAY!
I still
have to complete the final drafts of my reconstruction's, but this time
there will be someone to correct my mistakes as I go along. A lot of time
will be saved this way, and that is definitely needed at this point. The
end of this month will be very busy for me because I have got to move back
to Santa Barbara the day before the SCEC meeting starts. I may have to
work through the next week-end to get everything finished. I hope to have
my poster done soon so I at least have time to pack! I feel a bit
pressed for time at this point, but I have been working on my project since
school got out. So I won't have any problems ( foreseen) finishing it by
next week.
Don't we all work best under pressure?
