Update
I am happy with my senior engineering project right now. The algorithm we had to write by Thanksgiving has been written already and we are on to bigger and better things. Our company liason and her boss came to visit to help us with our project. They were helpful in propelling us to work as far as we could without them before they came, and in helping us to know how we will do the next steps. I also got to drive the Rhino, which is the project directors's atv with seats and a cover, around Parcel B, which is a large forested area with paths and open areas that our school owns. It was a lot of fun! He had me drive right through the puddles instead of going around them.
He has converted Parcel B into a Robot test track, and is very excited about it, and wanted to show it off to our sponsors. He has even arragned to have the paths plowed in the winter! He's also building a shed with heating and an internet connection so we can work out there in the winter while we're testing our vehicle. He says that at about 10 degrees below freezing your laptop screen freezes and starts to do funny things. This winter will be interesting!
I am halfway through the body of my 25 page paper on Testimony literature in Latin America. I still have a lot of work to do, but I am excited about it. This website http://www.speaktruthtopower.org/ has some great bios and pictures of Human Rights workers throughout the world!
I have started a spreadsheet to track due dates for my applications to Law Schools and scholarships, programs and school rankings. Some schools have some really cool scholarships for public interest law, or have well funded programs to provide money to students for summer internships that do not pay. I plan to write essays during Thanksgiving break, instead of before. and, I hope to visit some Law Schools in southern California while I'm there.
