The third week of the program is coming to an end, and right now I feel as if we are in that stage where it still seems like we just started yesterday. This, unfortunately, is not the case. Just last night, everyone I spoke with shared my perception of how quickly the time had been passing.

Week 3 has gone by a little too quick. I am starting to worry that time is going to fly by. However it makes sense since this week has been very productive. My mentor is out of the country for the next two weeks so I have been working on getting him the results he asked for and more.

Collin Flynn

Week 2 has come and gone, and I am just in disbelief that this internship is going by so quickly. The metra system has decided to cooperate with me, or maybe that was me figuring out the metra?
