Day 13

Today Peter and I worked on the PowerPoint slides for our presentation tomorrow while Howard used Erdas to do classification of the vegetation in Ka’a’awa Valley. After finishing the PowerPoint slides, I tried to merge the shapefiles that the GPS produced for each day into one, but it was very difficult to do because the attribute table looked really weird. Eventually, I just tried to polish the attribute table of each individual shapefile instead of trying to merge all of the files.

In the afternoon, everyone went to North Shore and instead of having Mexican food with the others, I got Courtney and Shelby, who weren’t planning on buying food to accompany me to get thai food. Afterwards, we went to the beach and I went swimming in the ocean for the first time since I’ve been in Hawaii. I went swimming again when the sun was going down but I got out early because I started to feel chilly. I was really cold even though the temperature was not that low at all. Even though it was only a half-day off it was still really fun.
