Hello everyone!
Many many photos were taken this week, so please enjoy and live vicariously through them.
I spent some time with my boyfriend Randy watching Surf’s Up! We used the Google extension Scener to facetime while watching the movie simultaneously. Some of the interns were also doing another game night and I stayed for a bit!
I presented to the Nanoscale Spectroscopy Group at NIST on Wednesday! Each intern in the group presented what project they were working on and the future steps that we will be taking for our project. The group is so friendly, and I enjoy being a part of it.
They put my name on the door of my (shared) office!
I had the pleasure of watching the Soft Matter Kitchen (Rheology) Intern, Brynn, fully show her kitchen skills. Brynn made burgers, brussel sprouts, and these DELICIOUS parmesan potatoes. Take a look:
(No, those aren’t actually real pickles..)
Some of the interns joined me for some Reggae music at the Wharf. The Wharf has many things to do especially in the summer. We plan to attend another event called Sunset Cinema to watch Top Gun: Maverick in a couple weeks!
Brynn, Devin, Julia, and myself at Rock the Dock!
We played 2 intense games of giant jenga. The structure a group of physicists can make from pulling blocks is amazing and impressive.
Jenna and I ended the night with Shake Shack on the Wharf and we’ve been dreaming about those chicken bites ever since.
On Thursday, the interns attended a Cocktail Hour with the SPS Executive Council. It was so nice seeing the council members again, and updating each other on the latest news. I really enjoy the opportunities that the interns get, especially networking events like this. Also, the Chicken Sandwich sliders were SO good.
After the dinner, some of the interns hung out at a nearby restaurant!
We ended our week at the NOI-F Orchestra to hear Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. As expected, it was amazing.
Today, I biked to the Georgetown Flea Market using Capital Bikeshare. It was tough since I haven’t ridden a bike in many years but I had so much fun doing it. We finished our Georgetown visit at The Good Stuff Eatery, and then a short bike ride home.
I hope you enjoyed this entry, here are some bonus photos:
Julia and I in a photobooth!
My District Taco Bowl Order. It’s amazing. Thanks Jaden.
Until next week,
