This week was a great week! After meeting with Dr. Murphy, I simplified the simulated human behavior and finished up the simulation for blocking and herding. Friday I ran the simulations a few hundred times and the preliminary data looks good!
This Wednesday Dr. Murphy also talked with the lab about our research posters, and basically told all of us we needed fewer words and more pictures. My abstract is due Tuesday, too! I had better get started on that! Everything is starting to come to a close.
As you can tell I'm very excited. It has been such an exciting summer! Dr. Murphy asked if I would be continuing research into the fall semester, and I said of course I will! I love working for Dr. Murphy, and I would love to go to grad school here to continue doing research under her. I'm the happiest I've ever been here.
You know, growing up, people always told me that I would do great things, but it is something else entirely to watch myself actually move toward becoming the person I always wanted to be.
