[170-172; 219-224; 226-230; 235-240; 242-244] Now everything is decided, and I know what I’m going to do during the summer, I don’t need to spend more time on finding an internship. This semester I’ve started to have more connection with my professors. It started with me have to ask one of my professors for internship assignments, so I got a really good consult with him. And then, he introduced me to another professor that is in charge of a lot of different research projects at school. So then, I started to talk with him, so now I’m involved in some of his research projects. The main project involves hip replacement. When some kids are born, they have problems with their hips, so when they’re getting older they need a hip transplant. But, to avoid this, we can fix it in this early stage when they’re born. The project is with some professors from our school, some PhD students from our school, and also some professors and doctors. So, they’re really, really smart compared to me. I’m not a huge part of that project. I’m more there just to listen, and learn, and try to understand, and maybe in the future start to work on it, like next year if I want to stay at school. But, right now I don’t contribute anything. I’m just there to learn.
