Final Scientific Report for the SRP
I've finally finished writing my final report for the SRP subject that I've been doing. It seemed to take me ages. I've been working on it most of the week, sometimes staying as late as 1:30 in the morning. Of course the usual time I've headed home was around 10:30 pm. I've just emailed it off to the supervisors and I'm glad it's over. There wasn't much guidance with the whole subject so in the end we all just seemed to be fuddling through, just hoping that we were on the right track. In the end, I still don't know. Our group did a presentation yesterday which went for nearly an hour about our research into the source water toxicity we were investigating. Once again I was pretty nervous about the whole speech but didn't use my notes as Darren said to do. Instead I just got up there and talked using the power point presentation to guide me. In the end I think it turned out okay. Really I don't know though. We were asked some questions at the end. I was asked why I was surprised that the nitrogen levels didn't change throughout the treatment process. Why was I surprised? I though that it was obvious that I though they were going to change! Why else? Still I said this and then the examiner started talking about how it is total nitrogen and the only way it is going to change is through microbiological digestion where evaporates it off as ammonium. Very interesting but I still couldn't find anything about that on the internet. What I could find wasn't really much help so it was quite time consuming finding out information about the process. In the end, I hope I passed the subject. I don't know but I think I did.
