Hey guys, I know that I haven't posted anything on this site for just over a month but I've got some news to share with you. They've recently approved the job application I gave in for a research assistant in the physics department at the University of Johannesburg, even though I've already been working on a project since October last year. In any case, at the end of May, I'll be getting payed for the four months I was working on it this year and after that it'll just be a monthly salary. I've just updated my profile to reflect this. This is only temporary but I'll very likely get a few papers published in the meantime, so it'll probably reflect in my future career. Other than that I haven't chosen a topic for my PhD yet.
