This is my last blog in this office. Well, I wil probably be finishing this on my own laptop actually. Lately things have been winding down as we have been finishing our posters and preparing our presentaitons. ☺️Last week we all bought tickets for the Mega Million and won nothing. 💸💸However we made a contract to make sure that if somebody one they were legally obligated to split it with everyone. 🧑⚖️🧑⚖️🧑⚖️🧑⚖️🧑⚖️🧑⚖️🧑⚖️

We went ice skating again yesterday which was just as fun as the time before. ⛸️ I got to practice more and I am even better than I was a few days ago (wow!) Then our Coop Gaming group met in the apartments with Yvonne to play games and eat pizzza. It was nice to hang out and finally play the games we’ve been studying for so long. 🎲🎲
This morning Paul filmed us ansering the questiions for the interview videos that will go on the website. Everbody seemed to take so long and have so many blooopers. I went in there and answered every question and got out in like 5 minutes. I dont understand what took so long. 👨🏫 Now I’m getting ready for school and being an RA and such. The other interns are preparing for school too. We found out that all our footage is be overexposed which means we had to rerecord everything that evening.
Later we presented the poster at the symposium. 🪧 I thought it would be a good expereince for me but I didn’t want to have a bigillion mini conversatinos for three hours (sigh). Its okay I’m fine. It turned out that pretty much only vrac people showed up so it was super chill. I also got snacks anddrinks (yum)!

We returned to the office to rerecord the interviews. 🎥🎥🎥 It was really confusing to plan becuase some people needed to have the bikes all unlocked to give back to Val at Freddys’. Somehow I ended up recording dead last. By the time it was my turn to go I was asleep in Dr. Gilbert’s office. 🛌
I once again had no bloopers whatsoever and finished it in like 2 minutes. Then we all had a potluck and cooked A TON of food in our apartment. We couldn’t even fit all we cooked on the island. 🏝️ I didn’t contribute to the food at all but I enjoyed eating it. 🧆🥘🍲🫕🥣
Tomorrow we have some kind of reflection on our expereiene here for the VRAC people to review for the next REU and the farewell lunch. After then its truly over over. I keep realizing that I’m doing things for the last time here. At this point I feel like I’m in a memory and not really here anymore. I will cherish this time.
