By far the most exciting week so far. This week we had two tours, the first one Brigette took us through the Optical Society of America (OSA). We got the chance to meet with the CEO and some other important people from OSA.

Last weekend was amazing- Peter came to visit me again! On Friday, we stayed in because it was slightly rainy here in DC.  We watched the World Cup game and then cooked dinner together (one of our favorite things to do).  On Saturday, we went to the zoo!

This week has had its ups and downs, and when I say "downs" I really mean just a minor inconvenience with my project at NASA. After trying to model niobium-coated microstrips on a silicon substrate, we were consistently finding that COMSOL was not producing the expected results time after time.
