This week I started off trying to fix the previous issues Graham and I had created during the previous weeks. The first 2 days Graham was unable to come into work because of a personal issue, so I was working by myself Monday and Tuesday. I spent the days exploring the code and fixes issues I would come across. Although I have never learned code, full on immersing myself was a great way to learn how it works. I had to do many Trial and error tests to figure out what does what but now I know a lot more about code. By the end of the day Tuesday, everything on the printer was working perfectly except for the fact of the nozzle being clogged.

On Wednesday graham came back and we tried to unclog the nozzle, but there was no way to do it by hand so Dmitry ordered new ones that we are expecting next week. Nothing was really achieved Wednesday except that we learned that we needed to order something from Amazon. Thursday I was unable to go into work because of a covid scare, but it was just a scare and nothing came out of it. Friday I was able to return to work, but it didn’t really matter since there was nothing to do other than wait for the nozzles to be delivered. Graham and I spent a few hours in the building sorting screws and bolts, classic intern jobs.

This weekend I moved into a different house, the same one Graham is living in, because my sister’s roommate was coming back from Spain. Graham had a few of his friends from Telluride over and we had a great time. It has been a few days since i’ve been rock climbing, but I plan on going soon.

Thank you for reading my posts, I’ll see you next week.
