As my second quarter begins, I’m vowing to be more prolific in my blog posting this time around, giving my friends frequent updates.

I’m now entering the second phase of my project, where my data has gone from fresh out of the telescope to being ready for statistical analysis. The paper writing has already begun, and I have my first plot as of this Monday. It’s exciting.  I’m taking two courses, Electromagnetic Radiation and Stellar Structure & Evolution… both of these look phenomenally useful, and phenomenally work-intensive. It’ll be a challenging time, but I’m looking forward to it.
