At the end of October, a few days before Halloween, I was unfortunate enough to severely hurt my back. I had been lifting heavy boxes and bags while working, and had been lifting from my back instead of with my legs. Safe to say, eventually something gave when I bent over and I was unable to stand back up. From there, it was weeks of consistent pain.
Since then until fairly recently, I've had difficulty sitting in chairs and missed a substantial amount of class. Once I started to get better, I was in a mad rush to turn in various assignments and study for exams that I could have been better prepared for. As a result, my RCOS project got thrown to the wayside.
Part way through my health-related hiatus I gave up on trying to scrounge around for time for this project and instead decided to fully invest in working on the project over winter break as my only commitment. I spoke with professor Moorthy to let him know that I would be doing this, and I have plans to meet with him weekly (with the exception of when faculty are on holiday break) for updates and advice.
In other news, I will be giving a short presentation today. I will put up the powerpoint in a slideshare today. I'm also going to be uploading some design materials this weekend, as well as pushing some code that I'm testing, that I've written for my first module.
