Last weekend brought with it a welcome break from the initial shock of the 9-5 work week and the chance to finally enjoy the privileges of living in a city.

The new AIP CEO, Dr. Robert Brown started this past Monday, there was a luncheon to welcome him and to have a discussion about where he wants to take AIP. It was wonderful to experience such openness from the new leadership!

As my 2nd week here in D.C. comes to a close, things have become more routine. I wake up at 7:00 and meet the other interns working at ACP at 7:50 for our morning commute. We arrive at ACP about an hour later and then I stop by the Kurig machine for the first of many coffees. We all work, one intern on each floor of the building, until noon when we all take our lunch break together. We talk about our days as I inhale my lunch with enthusiasm. Afterwards, we go back to our work and then meet up again to catch the 5:00 shuttle to the metro station and begin the trek home. Once I get home I spend the rest of the day sitting on the couch watching TV until I go to bed. Then I wake up the next day and do it all again.

I am really starting to enjoy life at the American Center of Physics (ACP). My position is directly affiliated with the American Institute of Physics (AIP), and we SPS interns have entered during a time of new and exciting change for AIP.

Over the weekend, I went with a couple of the SPS interns to see the acclaimed Air and Space Museum. I had been there before as an 8th grader, but was eager to see it again having taken a number of astronomy courses during my time at Vassar.
