What did I accomplish?

I finished working on my GIS map for the project. That included going through and narrowing down all of the tags to just their locational data in order to be mapped, and adding it to my website.

I completed the results section of my paper, including analyzing my data and expressing it into tables and graphs.

I developed my theme for my presentation, and completed work on numerous slides.

What were my roadblocks?

Time constraints and deadlines have been starting to catch up with me, and as such my stress levels have started to grow in preparation for all my research to need to be completed by next week.

My biggest roadblock was contracting whatever disease afflicted the rest of the cohort. I was pretty much out for 2 full days and still cant shake the cough or mucus build up.

I also really struggled to figure out how I wanted to write and order my paper, and as such spent a lot of time rewriting and outlying in order to solve the problem.

What I learned?

I learned about how to construct and utilize a chatbot in order to make speedy and effective searches on the material I'm researching.

A lot of tips on how to improve my presentation in order to make it more understandable and impactful.

How to upload my GIS project to GitHub and how to then display it onto my website.

What is my next action/step/thing you need to do for my research?

I need to finish my results and conclusion of my paper, finish my presentation, and update my site to accommodate all the recent developments in my research.
