Brigette Smith
The beginning of this week has been rather mundane. At this point in the internship I’m pretty settled into my daily routines. I know what I need to get done everyday and all the projects I have are very similar to things I’ve been doing throughout the summer.

It’s hard to believe that there’s only three weeks left here in DC. My major accomplishement this week has been hitting 11,111 words on my biogrpahy document!

This past week, I got sick, visited the center of American government, and did yoga.

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.

Disclaimer: No overarching theme that explores the depth of being a physics major. Below are some ramblings from this week. (Maybe this is another way I’m providing insight into being a graduated Physicist?)

It is interesting to think how 6 weeks ago I landed here in D.C a few days before the internship began and I was able to run around and explore. The days before moving into the dorms I remember imagining what the summer would look like.

Week 6 truly went by so fast and I can’t believe installation of my exhibit is next week!!

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.

"All physicists are awkward. There are like four different categories of awkward, but we all fit into one of them." -Brad Conrad explaining the story behind yelling "Thumbs up for Science!" before every physicist photoshoot (example below).

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!
