Much improved

After yesterday's doldrums, I headed into school ready to attack my work.  I got off to a slow start spending the first half of my morning writing an editorial for this month's PGSA newsletter.  Before lunch I also had a quick sit down with my supervisor regarding our talks for the workshop in Germany and spent some time working on my latest homebuilt instrument (I know I speak in vague terms, but yes this is the same device I've been working on for the past couple months).  I made great, but slow, progress in commissioning my new machine; making some tweaks to code and electrical connections along the way.  Later in the afternoon I helped staff a PGSA table at a PhD orientation session. After the successes of today, my attitude and outlook has much improved from yesterday.
