A Day Off...

Wow! I finally got a semi-day off from our thesis. I said semi because I still have to draw the frame of our prototype in CAD and it will be tiring to also do it. I have the house to myself today because my sister started her classes last monday. Defence proposal is on Friday already. This thesis has already been changed and it is our third thesis. Hope the proposal goes well. This will be our last shot at getting our much awaited graduation.

Our first topic was about arranging buttons. We changed it to cutting card boards because our thesis adviser left us and have to find a better thesis adviser. That topic about the buttons also is too hard for us to design. The topic about cutting card boards is alot easier than the first but it is too expensive to make. The machine shop owner told us that the cutters that we have to use will be big and expensive.

Somehow we were stuck with it. Our thesis mate who has a business with lubricants has been hearing her father talking about a new business and wants to let us make a machine for him. We pondered about it but we thought that it is already late and we do not have the time to start another thesis.

Then when my thesis mate went back to her province, the calling to really change our thesis to the one her dad wants was there. We talked about it and decided to change it. So these are the reasons why I am so tired these past weeks going double time/triple time for our thesis. We are somewhat 10% complete on the prototype. We just need to first propose this thesis and have it approved on friday; test the first part of the prototype tomorrow and where to at a good pace to finish it. Wish us luck!!!
