Lizard Treadmill

Never have I felt as tired and frustrated as I have this week. The cause of this is building a treadmill for lizards and having it function correctly. Yesterday I felt like just laying down and going to sleep. I came in around 7 in the morning to finish working on the treadmill. What followed was one complication after another. One good thing that came out of it though was that it was already a manufactured treadmill for humans but the difficult part was actually motorizing it and making a few adjustments running the belt from the motor to the actual running belt. I can't imagine building one out of scratch. Just thinking of the idea of building out of scratch makes my body ache. Its all for the sake of science! I guess we all have to go through some pain before the good, whether it be mentally or physically. Even though it caused me so much pain and exhaustion I still enjoy it because I can say that i put my heart and sweat into building that machine, without it I wouldn't have a project.
