MLTI Conference 5/22

The biggest part of this project for you today was the MLTI conference. You woke up at 5:30 to carpool up to the UMaine Campus in Orono. Once you were there you spent some time milling around and going to some of the smaller presentations. After a pitiful lunch you prepared for the presentation. As a "Keynote Speaker" you presented for the whole group of attendees. The presentation went off more or less without a hitch, and people seemed really interested in the project. For you the best part of that day was afterward when a little girl, probably in 6th grade, came up to the group at the T-Shirt booth and told you all that you all really inspired her, that was really heartwarming for you. After that you headed to Nick's to add floatation material and a casing to the tether. The tether is now looking incredibly professional.

There and back again. 5/23

Sadly you couldn't spend the morning with the rest of the group. You had marching practice for the memorial parade. That got out around 11:30, from there you headed home to grab some food for yourself and the whole group. From there you drove down to baxter to meet up with Travis and Nick for the last bit of cutting the through hulls. After that was finished you had to attend a frisbee game. The game was a disappointing as the South Portland had been over hyped. From there you headed to Nick's house to finish up work on the float, trying to complete the power transfer system. Our planned system would skip a lot and lead to shorting the electronics frequently. Once the problem was identified and a new system was devised you headed over to Travis' house for a quick dinner and discussion of your next steps before heading home around 8:30.

Still at School (5/5)

Your name is Liam Wade, and you just started your first days of Senior Projects. Durring your first day of Senior Projects you could be mistaken for thinking it was a regular school day. You had to attend Jazz Class, Chorus, AP Calculus, and AP Physics. You couldn't find time between classes and extra curricular activities to work on the project and thusly failed to achieve much of anything. Y'all collectivity to begin writing journals in 2nd person. Tomorrow you hope to accomplish great success in the development of the float. Your plan is to switch from the pre-determined wooden design. Once the school day ended you had hoped to go to frisbee practice however the Calculus final proved longer than expected and denied you from attending.
