It's really sucks to know that i screwed it up again

Last week had been a very disappointing week for me. For your information, during summer i'm doing research about concrete. It's very exciting experiences working with Americans and do something that could make a different.Its sound quite exaggerating rite?haha..Well maybe the research paper could help engineers and contractors out there to create more strong structure. who knows rite?

My specialty in this research is on Semi adiabatic Calorimetric chamber or in short form we called it SACC(not sexx ye guys!!). This SACC help to determine the heat of hydration from hardening concrete. The heat produces by the hydrating concrete during early ages is very important in predicting the strength of the concrete in later ages. Enough said, SACC helps to predict the mechanical and thermal properties of concrete.

But, the mistakes that i did again and again was by activated the SACC when the concrete had been hydrating for more than 1 hours. That was very terrible mistakes which it should be running as soon as we put the concrete in the SACC. The most important parts in my research is to know the heat of evolution for the first hours and so on. Make it worst, the materials is limited thus it's not possible to redo again the experiments. So, i need to live with my mistakes and move forward to complete the paper without the data for the first hour. Luckily, the graph looks nice and it still give some useful information to be evaluated.

So rite now, i've completed the paper and it is being review by the editor for the any grammatical errors. SO guys do pray for me, so that i managed to publish the paper although i did those silly mistakes. hehe..

p/s: Life must go on even thought it is difficult.
