So this post is more of a vent than anything else. I had an essay midterm due yesterday. Today I picked up the 2 air pistons/ cylinders/ actuators that David Malmberg and I have designed over the past month from the Scripps machine shop. It has a small problem with the vent holes, but I will take care of that later this week. I got access to a small staff shop around the corner so I can now build my own parts from scratch!! (woo hoo! i new 5 years of shop would come in handy one day haha). Tomorrow I have a counseling and therapy midterm. Weds I have my first 3 subjects for my honors thesis. From here on out, I have 3 per day for the next 30 days (6 hours/day!!). Thursday I am giving a talk/seminar on neuroimaging at the UCSD Radiological Imaging Lab. I have a subject booked right after. Right now, I am ordering parts for an analog relay. I need to read about the retina for tomorrows computational neuroscience lecture.
