anxiety...

So what am i building now for my fyp..
here's a sneak preview..
my 'chraka sandals' and the 6.90 fake crocs.
Insole retro fitted with sensors..
sians.. this thing just doesnt work..
insole + sensors + chraka sandals + crocs = ironman's footwear

Wednesday's my first clinical trial for my prototypes... which would make it 2 days from my work

My prof will be inviting for my patient to come down to school to test both my mentor's system and my prototypes that me and my fyp partner have been building for the past 2 months...

i am feeling a sense of anxiety as the day approaches...
my prof has a certain level of expectations from it.. and if we do not prepare sufficiently enough for this testing ... we would lose out alot in our progress for our work... i even skipped yesterday's water session in order to finish sewing my passive ankle supports and look up for some coding templates for my pressure sensor that a noob like me can understand and edit.


for the past 2 weeks before today, I've been skipping some lessons just to fix up my foot sensor device. Consulting my mentors helped a lil .. but because i know nuts abt C programming, i can only work as much as the time they can dedicate to helping me. Compatibility issues between windows vista and xp cause me to spend half the time in the lab installing programs and troubleshooting them instead of working on the programming though.. something quite frustrating..

I also skipped class and stayed up late to work on other major project ... my 4011 engineering design project..i decided to start the ball rolling and start on the consolidation of reports, tooling up whatever we have done.. my grp still have a ton of work to do before we can close this case. would be good if everybody was more on the ball.

its gonna be a tough week.
but please give me the energy to do everything that i can to make it a good one..
i still have

1) 4011 report to rush by next week with FEM and PLC sections still untouched.
2) PRof comm presentation to prepare
3) quizzes coming up

the good things to look forward to

1) is that i will be more free from fyp after this wed...
2) gf's bdae celebrations this weekend
