internship [July]

7.25: Sherri and I worked on finishing the parts for the tension table vases. The curved tops were the parts that i used the plasma cutter for. Today we had to grind the pattern on them. It was really frustrating. We didn't finish them all because each one took a lot longer than we thought.
7.27:long installation day!

I went on vacation to the outerbanks for alittle less than a week which was incredible because I didn't think I'd get to see the ocean once this summer. It turned out that a lot of factors worked out for me to go. it was so nice to have a break from summer classes, work, and the internship! I needed it! Sherri got to finish the vases while I was gone.
Sorry Sherri!!

8.4:Back from vacation we had a lot of work to do! Sherri cut a lot of pipe while I had to cut a bundle of rods with the cut saw. It felt like a lot of things went wrong that day or I wasn't really doing a good job. I was trying but i felt like I kept screwing up. I had a scare with the cut saw but I got over it. I did not like it at all.
