      "...Anyhow, my work's been amazing, and have been working on a couple of programs. I'm close to simulating the forces that are at work on Elliott's experiment, though at times I feel rather stupid in a sense I need so much guidance/help from Rodrigo. I guess it's all good, as I'm learning lots. like lots."
