Cars rarely see cars . <| sep |> Dont overthink it . Its easier to have a prof who already knows you but you can email them and ask . Often they ' ll ask to see your grades or have a meeting to discuss topics . Its good to have an idea but more likely than not they will give you a topic or project they are interested in . Make sure you pick someone who you are interested in their research andor you get along with . Personally I ' m the kind of person who can make a boring research topic work as long as I like the supervisor but thats something you ' ll have to know about yourself . And remember its only a year , if its not a perfect fit thats okay ! <| sep |> You are just so nice . Than you a million times for the nice words ! I still have a lot to learn but I ' m glad people understand what I wanna say though . Have a nice day !
