Day 1 of Senior Project started off quite roughly, as I woke up groggily at my normal time for school, 6 AM. Needless to say, it was less than pleasant. I began the project after breakfast around 6:30 AM, beginning with the book, Game of Shadows. The process was slow and tedious as I carefully took notes and tried my best to remember the key figures of the scandal. In addition, I was able to follow up my discoveries of the first few chapters of the book with a podcast talking about two key figures, Victor Conte and Barry Bonds. After just 1 day of research, I must say that it has answered many questions that I have pondered over the years. Regardless, there is still much work to be done, as the sabermetrics part of my senior project has yet to begin, as I need to finish up the book on Bonds and begin doing some math by hand. This should begin quite soon, and I eagerly look forward to diving into the mathematical part of my project. In addition to doing math, there are quite a few documentaries that I will have to begin watching. There is over 20 hours of film and audio that I will have to delve into, which I discuss in my Day 1 Vlog.
