Days nine and ten, Sam's entry

We spent the past two days editing rather than setting up shop anywhere. Good thing, too, because we started out with about 220 minutes of footage, and it took us practically all of Wednesday just to get the video onto the computer.

Good news is, the editing was pretty smooth. Austin and I were in agreement over most of what to include and what to cut,although we still need to add titles and in some cases subtitles. These past two days have allowed us to step back and gain some perspective on the project and how we're dealing with doing it. The senior project in general is an odd period of time, just because I have so much free time I don't really know what to do with it. Austin and I decided that because of this, this week is alternately the best and the worst week ever. 

During the editing process yesterday, I was very into it. I was pacing back and forth, getting pretty animated, and the librarians had to tell us a couple of times to keep it down. Then when we were done, I was suddenly exhausted. Which was odd, given that I hadn't been the least bit tired at any point of the day until then. That's pretty much the best indication available that apparently I love our project. Not that I didn't know that already.
