kareinaToday I managed to do the first polish on the capsules from my second experiment. First thing in the morning I need to add additional epoxy to them to get the contents of the capsules to hold together when I do the final polish, and then on Thursday I'll be able to take them to the microprobe and analyze the results.
This evening was spent working on creating the final pdf of my thesis. I now have all of the figures for chapters 1 to 4 in place, and all the the appendices are ready to go. But it is now nearly 02:00 and I have to work again in the morning, so chapters 5 and 6 figure inserting will have to wait. I am really liking this ability to change pdf files!
Alas, today I missed my Italian Language class, again (missed it last week due to my boss only being available to teach me something during that time, and due to my boxes arriving at that time on Wednesday). But, honestly, I need to finish the thesis and turn it in. I don't *need* to attend the class. I wish to learn enough Italian to be courteous, but I could survive here without speak a word of it.
Haven't done any unpacking today, either. This is the first time I've ever had to work a full-time job while unpacking boxes, and it really slows down the progress. It has been five days since they arrived, and they aren't all unpacked yet. Granted, if I were only working full-time, it would be done, but this trying to finish the thesis thing is taking lots and lots of "extra" hours...
