I tried to get that application I downloaded last class to work. It's called TALYS, but it's not at all user-friendly and there were some bugs or something that I don't really know anything about. Maybe it's for the best, since if I can't even get it to work I probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it. I'll keep looking for something a little simpler.

FINALLY FOUND A JUDGE!! I talked to Mr. Gonzalez, the SEM teacher, on Friday. He agreed to judge my project, so today I sent him the schedule. He said 2nd period would work best for him, so I need to ask Mr. Simmons if I can miss one of his classes. Other than that I downloaded a nuclear modeling application and emailed a few more people about judging.

On top of work on my visual model, I emailed two new potential judges. One is a high school teacher in Allen, and the other is the coordinator of astronomy labs at UT Arlington - I figure if he can't help me, he will at least have lots of grad students to refer me to.

I spent most of the class today working on updating my judges report, as well as returning a couple of emails from potential judges in the texas astronomical society.

I kept looking for judges today. I emailed 2 more professors today. I don't know if I just have bad luck or what but I've only gotten like 2 replies so far.
