I'm not ready to leave DC.
I have become so attached to the city, the people, and my job. It's crazy to think we only have two weeks left! Especially given that part of the last week entails our final presentations and rehearsals, so we only have 8 real work days left. However, these next 8 days are going to be quite exciting!
I don't know if I'll be traveling to any events yet, but I do know that we will be publishing my bulletin! I finished my article on a House Science Committee hearing on melting glaciers the other day, and it is currently in the editing processes. I'm really proud of the work and effort I've put into it! It's making me very excited for the research I'll be doing in graduate school.
Earlier this week, Joseph and Nicholas also gave us a tour of NIST! We got to see several labs and learn more about the research NIST is doing. It was fun!
This weekend, Terry and I had our friend Jeff come visit! He recently got a software engineering job in Maryland, so he drove to come see us and spent the night at GW. We got dinner at Burgers Tap and Shake on Friday and then just hung out and relaxed, and on Saturday we explored the Hirshhorn Museum! The art was AMAZING. It was definitely my favorite museum I've been to this summer. 2020 interns-- you should check it out!
However, this weekend has been quite toasty to say the least. The current heat wave is making it feel like 110 degrees. No wonder glaciers are melting!
