This week, aside from finishing up the excel sheets finally, I’ve been working really hard to create an OSA Discover blog post for LGBT in STEM day (July 5th).
Sadly we are halfway through the summer internship. However this week was really productive. My mentor came back from being away for two weeks. Monday we had a nice long meeting to go over everything I had been working on. I am super happy to report that he was very pleased!
Oh, how the weeks have just gone by so quickly! SPS has really done a great job with coordinating the internship to where we are constantly on the run and surrounded with people that make the time fly by.

I swim to work. I swore that no summer could be worse than a summer in Memphis. Being right on the Mississippi river, going to work everyday was like breathing in water. My glasses would fog up when I would step out of my car.
It’s the end of my fourth week at Capitol Hill. Since I started I’ve been asked countless times how I like working there. Have I started to pull me hair out yet? Is working for the government as bad as it seems? To be completely honest, I absolutely love it.
