I have to say I’m sad I won’t be meeting my peers this summer because we have so much fun at our online hangouts. It’s amazing how much a fun game can bring people together even when they’re miles apart.

Although my blogs the first two weeks were not very insightful, I do actually have a real job at APS. My job for the summer was to update the APS Top Educators lists and Physics Graphs & Statistics. All in all, lots of working in Excel.

If I were a legislator, I have the sneaky suspicion that I would get next to nothing accomplished. That is a seriously hyperbolic statement, but one of my jobs as an intern for a legislator is to write memos on bills seeking cosponsors. It’s unsurprisingly very difficult.

Though I expect the coming weeks to inevitably include stress and close deadlines, the latest week of this internship has been smooth sailing for me. It is with great relief that I can say that I am ahead or on top of everything requested of my supervisors at NIST.

This week’s update has to do with three mountains, two natural and one metaphorical.
