It’s hard to believe that, as I write this final blog, my internship is already over. When I first accepted my offer and started thinking about the summer, ten weeks felt like forever. In reality, the summer flew by, and ten weeks were gone before I knew it!

Dear reader. This week was fantastic. Let's start with an adventure to an iconic restaurant in DC, Ben’s Chili Bowl, with my fellow interns, Kaden, Jaden, and Johnny. For a long time, I didn't know what chili really was.

In my final weekend in DC, I ended how I started, and yet, I have grown so much in the past ten weeks. This weekend, on Saturday, I went back to the National Cathedral and Dumbarton Oaks — places I visited my first weekend here only to find them closed.

I say that if modern dragonflies were as big as their ancestors, with around two-foot wingspans (see Week 5: Meganeura monyi), I would still try and befriend them. Unfortunately, this would probably be a bad idea.

Week nine! The last full week of work has come and gone, and I’ve had to face the fact that I’ll be all packed up and on my way home in less than a week. It is truly crazy how fast the summer flew by!

My commute to work is very straightforward. Walk to the nearest subway station. Get on the subway train at said station. Ride said train to the first transfer station. Use said transfer station to move from the aforementioned train to a new train. Ride said train until I get to my final stop.

Apparently, my comments on the “campiness” of Star Wars and the Dark Knight Rises have to be amended.

With just a week left, this past week made for one of the best in the summer. To begin, on Tuesday we visited the Niels Bohr Library Archives, which was pretty cool to see some cool historical documents or just fun, random things like Richard Feynman’s calculus notes.
