Week 9 Fall 2018: The weak handed and Repetition

Well it's been an extremely busy week. I had to help run STEAM clubs activity at the fall festival on Monday. Then Wednesday was the Halloween market and I set up and stayed long enough to sell 3 jars of honey and of course we were out late trick or treating, the boys got so much candy so be ready cause I'm bringing some in guys! I had an exam this morning and honestly I was so foggy I wouldn't be surprised if I bombed it, so it's been busy to say the least. To explain this image and my title you have to know we are basically in the process of replicating our project for better consistency while using the FTIR. Our task this week and next is to punch out uniform peices of plastic with this heavy duty punch plier weigh them out and get statistics on the sample and then decontaminate in preparation for co-incubation. Well my hands are so weak and dainty that I could not get through our PVC, hopefully the workout I got today will help me get samples from our LDPE & PP. Big thanks to Josh, Amber, and Amanda for getting samples! (David got a couple as well) Thanks guys!

    Maria your project is getting more and more exciting! And I'm excited to help you with the stats with these little discs. I really need to get my feet wet and get used to using SPSS. I'm just happy you don't have to go through that extra process of identifying what which plastic is anymore! Also when you bring in candy I pray you have hundred grand bars, the seventy year old man in me loves them.

    The Fall Festival turned out to be a good opportunity for us. We sold all but one of those jars of honey. Thank you for your help with that! Sharing is caring; thanks for the candy (and while I was still eating sugar too lol). I’m going to try to get some more of those circles weighed before break this week. Do you think that we’ve finally weighed enough of them?
