This week, our last week, was both exciting and emotional. I spent most of work finishing up bill summaries and practicing my presentation again and again and again. I also listened to others give their presentations and we all gave each other constructive criticism.

This week, I pulled numbers from the giant legislation released: The Manchin-Schumer Reconciliation bill and the Appropriations bill. These two bills had a lot of relevant science policy budget figures.

This week, I continued working on my big data project. I made more charts extrapolating information, and learned how to adjust government budget numbers for inflation.

I started this week off at home. After a strong return from Fourth of July at work, I picked up my mom from the airport. It was nice to see her after her long trip to India. I returned to DC on Tuesday and spent Wednesday recording a panel and working on the budget project.

Although the week started out humid and rainy, DC recovered quickly!

This week, there is not much to report on the work front. Mitch, Andrea, and Will were on break, so I spent more time working on the same database as last week, completing the budget history for the Office of Science.

I opened up this week with a horror movie at AMC in Georgetown. Although it turned out to be more of a thriller the walk back from Georgetown waterfront close to midnight made it worth my time.
