today I got my grant approved which was awesome. I also updated my BOM to buy everything from amazon because it was easier than micro center for me. then I ordered the amazon and adafruit parts which is like 90% of everything. I was going to order PCB until I decided to check out my buck-boost circuit and realized it was completely wrong. so I fixed that. I think I will order the PCBs in a few days after double checking EVERYTHING.
