Stepping Out of the Waiting Room, pt. 1

Well, after a few weeks of waiting, I've finally begun to receive news from the REU programs I applied to, one in particular - Oregon State. According to the REU in Corvallis, OR, I've advanced to the next (and presumably finalist) round of the REU selection, and should hear back again soon. As for the other REU programs, no words back yet. I'm assuming that I'll know where I'm headed in about two weeks or so. I'll keep my readers posted.
