My first semester was a bit… tough.

I had a transition from different PIs.

But the lesson of this semester was kind of made, basically it was

• Make everything about research whether big or small, it just makes more sense
• DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Literally take the HTMAA documentation and apply it to everything! It makes you accountable to be able to make it to stages that is docuemntable, presentable to others, and be able to PR even not complete projects.
• Think about what the narrative is, what is the overal story from it

But still, it was a blast being able to try out all the machines in the MARS Lab.
