6-20-14 Summary
Today, I only had 1 other person in my lab. It was really quiet throughout the whole day. For most of the time, I was reading and working in my workbook. Sometimes it gets boring but I still continue. I also continued the IR on my metal pieces. I had to learn how to do it again before actually doing it by myself. So, I put a metal piece in the IR and had to adjust some things before actually scanning the metal. With the information, I had a little graph which I had to analyze. I looked foe the asymmetric, symmetric, peak height, and a third sym. After I wrote down my results, I had to put the metal pieces back into the solvent (THF) for 15 minutes. The sanded side had to be up again. Then I put them back into the oven. That was basically my day. After I was done with that, I continued in my workbook for the rest of the day.
