After the class discussion about payment deadlines, presentations, etc., I spent a good deal of class continuing my search for possible judges. I sent out two request letters to UTD professors, and I think my next step is to look at SMU.

I looked on UT's website for potential judges - not a whole lot of luck. Maybe I should have looked into how small a field stellar nucleosynthesis was before picking it as my topic. Anyway, I also helped with those desks and looked up some terms I didn't know from a research paper.

Kept looking for visual modeling software. So far the best thing I've found is an application called Talys, but for some reason I'm having trouble getting it launched on my computer. I might have to try on another computer.

This class I looked into software I can use to visually model nucleosynthesis. I found one application, but no luck so far getting it to work on my computer.

Although I'm posting this pretty late, all I did this class was look into who I could contact about judging, and I kept reading my research papers.

I looked into how to submit mid-year reports for my schools that aren't on the Common App, and after that I did some thesis research. I'm still waiting to hear on a couple of prospective judges, so I just continued to read research papers today.

After our intense camping discussion, I worked on my College Board IDOC stuff. There really isn't much to do online, so I think I can get the rest of my stuff done at home. After all, the majority of the work is making copies of my family's tax forms.

I spent the first part of class today working on my speech class. I have all my assignments and stuff done, so all that's left is the final exam. I had to register Mrs Marberry as my proctor for the exam, but I think there was an issue with website because I had to try it almost half a dozen times before I got it to work. After I got that done, I just read part of a research paper.

I finished submitting my financial aid forms today. I already had CSS in, but I had to wait on a federal PIN to submit the FAFSA, and I also got my PFAS in to UPenn. After that, I spent the rest of class contemplating how awful it would be (hypothetically, of course) to have a TAG-IT with only one senior in it.
