This week has been amazing in many ways. This is the first time in awhile that I had to travel to a place I had never been, all by myself, with exciting opportunities ahead of me.

I still can’t believe my fortune in being chosen for this internship! Getting to live in D.C. and work at NASA were both incredible stand-alone experiences. Together they constituted the best summer I have ever had! I had so much fun cruising around DC and meeting so many great people!

I took a well-needed break from DC at the start of the week to catch up with friends from high school before diving back into work for the week; I finally got to see the new Pixar movie (and as with any good Pixar movie, cried my eyes out). On Monday, all of us SPS interns got to take a tour of the American Center for Physics, where Connor, Shauna, Hannah, Patrick, Aman, and Brean have been working and they told us all about their projects.
