            For the month of march I mainly worked on forming answers for my senior topic as well as trying to finish my independent component 2. I think that this month was kind of tedious when it came to senior project because of preparing for interview 4 and trying to find questions I could ask my mentor because I am kind of started losing ideas about questions regarding my senior topic.
