Talked to a Physics professor (has background working with NASA, his great Uncle was a top science person on the Manhattan Project) who is on sabbatical this semester, and he said if I contact him at the beginning of next semester he will probably have a spot for me in his lab!
His research involves using Kepler data to find exoplanets, using reflected light instead of luminosity fluxes. Something about reading data from the Kepler website into a MATLAB program and visually inspecting the rough data to determine if there might be a planet there, which he then runs that data through a more advanced algorithm. So excited augadhgasdghahdsf
I also found the Society of Physics Students; a bunch of Physics nerds that meet weekly to talk about Physics and have lecturers talk about Physics.
So obviously I asked what the fastest way to join was
Meeting with another Physics Professor tomorrow (PhD from CalTech, went to HS with his daughter), so I hope that goes equally as well.
Then I'm going home for the weekend because I am fucking DONE with other people/roommates. It blows my mind that some people can be so fucking disgusting and messy and flat out irresponsible.
