So yesterday when I was at the lab we were in lunch and Dr. Pixley, who is the head of the research, starting talking about getting me started on a project to work on during the school year. She even said that she thought I should apply for the SURF program for next year - the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship! She said that she would be more than willing to write me a letter of recommendation for it. This really caught me by surprise! A very nice offer, something that I hadn't thought too seriously about. I don't know too much about the SURF program currently, or even if I was going to be able to continue my work at the lab during the school year, since I will be quite busy with my class work. It's definitely something to think about, though! This could definitely turn into a pretty good opportunity. We'll see!
