I'm stressed already! I need to get focused.
RP
Today, I began a campaign of cold-calling/emailing as many engineering professors at UMD, College Park as I can within two periods day by day. All emails were forwarded to Mr. Rountree for posterity and advice.
My approach to the prospective internship is borrowed from fellow Intern, Vasco Mateus, in that I am aiming to take an actual college course (pertaining to my research) as a high school -aged intern.
My first contact attempt was to Prof. Hyong La. His reply was along the lines of "I had previously been conducting research pertaining to cellular networks, but not anymore. Sorry." I thanked him and moved on.

Boring, uneventful day. At least I'm in good health.

This morning, I sent Mr. Rountree my revised and condensed RP Proposal for my projected--uh--project for when I'm working with a mentor in the near future. Hopefully i can get that mentor soon and dont have to change my project...

School is back in session!
RP
Our first day with Mr. Rountree, we recieved the RP Packets. His debriefing addressed two groups of people: the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. He let the 'haves' know that they can already begin work on many areas; while letting us 'have nots' know that we should be diligent in getting onto the 'have' list or get on the on-campus RP class list. Fair enough.

Father Ray left for his new church today.
RP
I called Ms. Kamaladiin (sp?) and she let me know that I was unfortunately not selected for the ESTEEM Internship Program. Now, I need to find another RP Project that will be internship-worthy in time for school.

Visited our clothing printer for the first time.

My father read my mind and casually brought up the technological issue of cell-phone reception in the immediate area of Flowers and suggested that my new project be about improving said reception instead of the (imaginary) project idea he thought I had at the time.
