The process of moving to Washington DC was a real hassle. I've never moved by myself before and I took a plane on top of that. It was pouring raining when I arrived and I had to try to drag three giant suitcases around GWU campus to find Amsterdam hall.

This week we had Monday and Tuesday off for the Fourth of July. Most of the weekend was spent relaxing, looking into future graduate schools, and exploring DC. The best part of my long weekend, and probably my favorite day of the summer, was the Fourth of July.

As week five came to a close, it was hard to believe that my time in DC was half over. In the beginning, ten weeks seemed like it was plenty of time to explore the city and accomplish all my projects.

This week I spent two days attending an incubator that OSA hosted.

This week has been absolutely packed full of activities. Last weekend was DC pride, which was an amazing experience. My intern host, The Optical Society, is along the parade route, so they hosted a pride party and invited all the SPS interns.

It is the end of my first full week at The Optical Society (OSA). So far I absolutely love my team members, as well as all the staff at OSA. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and I feel like I have worked here for much longer than a week and a half.

Wow. It's been a crazy week. I just moved here from Oregon on Sunday and it's my first time out on the east coast. We have been exploring D.C., doing outreach, working, and I have been working on homework.
