Devastating Loss
Things are picking up at the lab. There will be four traveling wave tubes being used between the four us (one for Konstantin and I, one for Kristy, and two for Michelle). Each of us will have to start taking lots of measurements on each of them, and we’ll get started with that today but especially next week.
Konstantin and I watched the last 30 minutes of the Saudi Arabia and Tunisia World Cup match. Exciting plays near the end, as a legendary Saudi Arabian soccer player who came out of retirement scored a go-ahead breakaway goal in the 84th minute but then Tunisia got a header in at the 93rd minute to tie.
After work we all went out to the fraternity court fields and played a great game of Ultimate frisbee. I was frustrated because my arms were still very sore (I couldn’t make a full extension without hurting) and thus I couldn’t throw well or attack the frisbee. Some other guys from around Leonardtown joined us (so many different summer programs going on here!) including one club team player. It was a fun game, and I look forward to making it a regular weekly event.
The Hurricanes game was devastating….let’s hope we can finish this up on Saturday. Sigh.
Anyway, we’re about to leave for a field trip to NIST - the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
