Finals Crunch
Last night I spent the 12-hour span between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am in the PRiSM Lab (third floor of the Borders building) cleaning the scan data I obtained from the red panda bones I convinced Dr. Fisher to let me scan.
The PRiSM lab at the Brickyard complex might be one of the netherworldliest ASU locales at night. Both the building and the room require keyed access. For the whole time I was the only soul in the complex besides the odd security guard, and for the weekend maintenance had the floor temperature set to what must have been nearly 85 degrees.
I was counting on the process demanding 3 hours at the most, but unforeseen technical problems dictated otherwise. I kept working and sweating long into the night because I needed the models done immediately so I could import them into Maya to transfigure them into three-dimensional muscle maps for my ART 345 Visualization and Prototyping final project due Thursday.
