As the week comes to an end, I realize how quickly the internship is passing by. By the time I looked at the clock the workday was almost over. Half of the week was going through a bunch of readings to finish putting together a figure.  The other half was for learning how to operate Python through Ubuntu to use a code for analyzing observation data. It was a very busy work week but very rewarding. I was only able to keep focused because of the social events that took place after the workday.

On Wednesday we had a picnic with all the interns. We had lots of fun playing pool and Heads Up together. It was a nice break in the middle of the work week that was very much appreciated. Friday night we had another party amongst the interns. On Saturday we presented physics demos on Mall. I helped show the fabric of space time and the electromagnetism demos. It was great talking with adults and children about physics and explaining the science behind the demos. At the event I was able to get a picture with Bill Nye which was really cool. At the end of the night a few of us watched the awesome movie Sing 2 together.

After the amount of work and fun from this week I am looking forward to report about next week.
