On top of finalizing a few things on my common app - final deadlines are fast approaching - I continued reading "Stellar Nucleosynthesis in the Open Hyades Cluster."

After a long struggle to get the internet working on my computer, I finally submitted and used an ethernet cable. Then I put in more work on my thesis presentation - I got some pictures off the internet to use and I began to flesh out my outline a bit. It'll be good to have this thing over with.

I looked over the thesis presentation guidelines and began outlining my presentation (I go on Friday). Some of the stuff I can take from my first presentation, but of course this one will be much more in-depth. I also put some work in on essays for my last few apps.

I continued reading "Stellar Nucleosynthesis in the Hyades Open Cluster." As for judges and a mentor, I have started trying to contact professors at SMU's physics department.

On top of making revisions to my UPenn essay, I began reading a research paper entitled "Stellar Nucleosynthesis in the Hyades Open Cluster." A lot of my project is going to involve just reading up on the subject in papers like this one.
