Week in review: 31 May-6 June

Today was another work day... as I am trying to keep on top of my to do list.  I've certainly made progress this week and I think I am about where I would expect to be, meaning my planning went much better this week.  I am still excited by my work, but I am getting a little nervous about my upcoming trip.  I am in good shape, with my parts back from the mechanical workshop, but I am still waiting on a PCB which should have been delivered this past Thursday/Friday.  I need the board to solder the components and test the final product before leaving next week and I am hopeful this can still happen.  Of course a work around or alternative could be found, but this PCB is the last piece of electronics I'll build for my PhD research and in a way it's a bit symbolic of the culmination of my work.  Regardless, I'll deal with the cards I am handed so stay tuned next week.
