In the end I was not accepted by any summer internship program but I plan to spend that time doing equal parts nothing, grad school application preparation, GREpreparationand e-mail professors until I find a research position in the fall.

Only two more exams remain, Entrepreneurship (only need 1%!) and Physics 3 (optics, condensed matter, particle physics and nuclear physics rolled into one class). I just finished Astrophysics yesterday, it was as hard as I expected and Electromagnetism was done earlier in the week.

A week in Ireland, two exams and fifteen days until I am back on the sunny shores of California.
