[*]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:[/ul] One thing I realized I should have done but what I have not done is a lot of research. Do some intense research with a great professor and submit that to Siemens or Intel. It’ll be catching two birds with one stone.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there are two slight problems with doing that- first, I don’t know where to find this group, and second, I have never used Facebook in my life.</p>
<p>Perhaps this would be a good enough reason to create an account…</p>
