Day 27

Again, my poster took most of my time today as I tried to perfect it. I added in a few more pictures to fully cover the extent to which I worked with images during this internship. I also wrote more in detail about one of the most important processes that we used to filter the images I got from GALEX. I posted my earlier rough draft on the Wiki but I will be adding another one that is the most recent "final" rough draft. I will also send the rough draft to Joe Pow so that he can look over it and give me some feedback. Brad, one of the undergraduates, also proofread some of my poster and helped me with some of the details that I could include about the near and far UV images. I took some of his advice and added to, as well as, deleted some of the things that weren't so clear in my writing. I had a meeting today at one where we informed Jake and Chris O'Dea about what we've been doing for the past week. Jake mentioned that he has more work for us to do before we get too far into our posters and presentations. He said that the undergraduates had a few color mapping things that they needed us to do for them alongside our other work. It shouldn't be difficult it just means that we can't ignore the work that we have to do within the last two weeks. It's the last stretch, where you have to bring out everything you've got for the end, I know all about the last stretch. It's in those last 600 meters that you have to give a race the best you've got to make anything you accomplished earlier worthwhile.
