Today is Wednesday. I've barely gotten my feet wet in this whole senior project thing (okay, I lie, more like my shins, but I digress) and I've already run into a potentially disastrous problem. In addition to other non-senior-project activities (finishing up schoolwork, trying unsuccessfully to Skype with John Wood, and chatting with AP Bio students about college), I finished my calculations about the scale and size of this model this morning, and I am very concerned.
Instead of writing an enormous paragraph full of ugly decimals and uglier fractions, I recorded a video explanation of the issue.

In the spirit of transparency, I should admit that I spent much more time on the video than I originally thought I would need. I spent all of 6th period trying to record the video properly. The issue is that the WP blog website won't allow me to upload a video larger than 20 megabytes. So, instead of rerecording the video, I tried to find an application that could compress my video to a smaller file size. Unfortunately I had no such luck with this process, and by the time I realized that I had to rerecord the video, 6th period was over and I had to go to 4th period Biochemistry. In biochem we gave presentations on amino acids, and I presented tyrosine and 4 of its derivatives.
Then it was time for lunch, and I grabbed a super quick bite and then headed back up to the office around 1:30 and did 3 more takes on the video to finally get it under 20MB (the time limit for Photo Booth quality video is around 1:50). I have 1st period combo class after lunch and then I'm done for the day. I think I'm gonna go shopping for supplies tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by. You stay classy, San Diego.
