• Hours I'd like to spend: 9
• What I'd like to do: Research DNA and CUDA with RUST, and start the initial graphing implementation
• How many hours I spent last week: 6
• How my learning went: I tried reading the paper linked in the README, got confused, and tried watching so videos. Still confused.

I watched a few videos on Eulerian paths, and started implementing an adjacency matrix based graph. I also talked with Gavin quite a bit about the best way forward, and whether we should be doing read alignment instead of sequencing.

• I organized Gavin's code
• I helped Gavin setup the code for reading FASTA files, and making a naive read alignment function.
• I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axVN-SoPdOY
• I added a serialize method to Fragment.
• I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj1wKc3CRL0
• I made a very simple tree data structure that uses Option<Rc<Leaf<T>>> to allow multiple ownership of leaves.

I managed to create an edit distance function: https://github.com/TheEvergreenStateCollege/smarty-plants/pull/16

• After hours of tearing my hair out I finally got edit_distance to pass all the tests.
