Day 1, (6/6/2011)

 * Introductory day, discussed different origami structure designs. I attempted to work on making a basic cylinder with CADNano, but to no luck. Eventually, my goal is to design and successfully build a middle-separating sphere(as seen here http://www.sciencemag.org/content/332/6027/342.full.html).

Day 2, (6/7/2011)

 * Attempted spherical origami (curved surface) design.

Day 3, (6/8/2011)

 * Continued attempts of spherical origami design.

Day 4, (6/9/2011)

 * Switched focus to an elliptical origami design.

Day 5, (6/10/2011)

 * Continued working on elliptical origami design before beginning work on creating python scripts for spherical coordinate conversion of bases (useful for Maya 3D).

Day 6, (6/13/2011)

 * Continued working on python scripts, now expanding to creating algorithms for looking up caDNAno positions and mapping them to base orientation.

Day 7, (6/14/2011)

 * Continued working on python scripts.

Day 8, (6/16/2011)

 * Completed first draft of python scripts for both PositionLookUp.py as well as NearestSphCoordinates.py
