Day 14

Today was a really slowwwwwwww day. Dr. Hornak told us to find the "Lambda Maximum" for all of the samples we have been doing the past 3 weeks( which is basically where the graph reaches its peak) ... it would have been easier to have done this when we were initially doing these samples. So anyways, we were able to give him a few of the Lambda Maxes, but eventually had to go back and scan the Nickle, Cobalt, and Copper samples after lunch.



By the way, Nicole and I met Laura and Ann( the vegan) at Java Wally's for lunch today. Then we were joined by other pre-freshmen: a girl from Texas, a girl who is from around here, Sam aka "Jersey", and a kid with a broken arm. That was a fun place to eat lunch.



So then, as I said, after lunch we re-scanned some of the samples on the diode array. Then we went back to Building 76 to clean the HUGE pile of NMR tubes.I washed them for 30 minutes while Nicole wrote her blog and then vise versa.

We then continued the rest of our day in Building 8 doing more T1 measurements for Jenn. I really like doing T1's for some reason. I makes me feel really scientific :)
