Well, I'm having a mini celebration this evening, and by mini I mean me since Josh is working tonight. I am very excited to say that my prof and I finished our paper and submitted it to ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) this afternoon! I've been working on this material since January and I have a real sense of accomplishment this evening. I've especially been working on my portion of the paper since the semester ended, and have spent hours at school over this past weekend. I celebrated by going to the gym. I got home and wondered for just a second about what I would do this evening, then remembered I have all the necessary ingredients to make a raspberry martini.
So now I wait until July 28th, when we find out if our paper is to be published. Regardless, this has been an experience of a lifetime, and the highlight of my undergraduate academic career. We're going to start on a new angle of the research on Friday, which hopefully will result in a published paper as well.
For now, I'm going to take a long hot shower and relax for the rest of the evening....or actually, I'll probably start looking over the proofs for the next research project.
Have a lovely evening!
Carrie-Anne and Josh
