June 8 - June 12
There is so much to expect from this week. Finally, my confusion on what I will be researching has come to an end. Armed with a new research website and a completed research plan, I feel well-equipped to conquer the summer's great obstacles. Long, tough hours were spent acquiring and cultivating these tools. Now to meet my personal goals. Similar to the previous week, I have chronicled a few of my activities:
