Monday!

Today we went out to lunch to Pellegrinos. Their subs were really good. After that we went on our second field trip to the University of Rochester to visit their laser lab. The tour was pretty cool but the presentation was terrible. The tour guide really didn't know what he was talking about. Whenever people asked questions, he just replied with "I don't know". We celebrated Emma's birthday with cookie cake that she brought in when we got back to RIT. After that, I went down to my lab. We got new PVA that actually works! Very excited because I finally know how to use the printer. I brought my lab equipment from the optics lab i was working in downstairs to our lab. Tomorrow I will try to set it up. We had to make black dye for the cartridge. We went down to get the cartridge from where the printer is located. When we came back, we mixed the black dye with water and then filled it in the cartridge. I cut a part of the PVA and brought it with us as well as the cartridge. Katie and I were disappointed with our results. The dye was too thin and kept leaking out of the cartridge. We couldn't print the PVA today but tomorrow we will after we make the dye thicker so it doesn't leak.
