Harrison – Day 4
- Yesterday late afternoon, some of the interns and I went to the state gym pool. It was extremely fun hanging out with them in the hot tub, playing water basketball (at which Ruby is goated), and swimming in the whirlpool. We then went into town and were amazed at the post rain beauty of the sky.
- Last night my roommates and I stayed up until about 1:30am just talking. It was the first time we did so and forged an even deeper bond between the three of us. It is really amazing to see us getting along so well. This did make it slightly difficult to get up this morning.
- This morning, we spent about an hour taking group pictures so we could choose one for the website. We had to all wear the same shirt which most of my fellow interns do not find fashionable. Taking pictures was pretty fun except for when we went onto the roof of the third floor of the innovation center. This was a bit scary as I am afraid of heights.
- Our luncheon speaker, Dr. Wesley Lefferts, was amazing. His story was entertaining to hear, and he even made me a bit interested in biology which I have always found boring and way too confusing. He did an amazing job at faking the New Zealand accent throughout his lecture. We all believed that he was from the other side of the globe until after the presentation, which is when he switched his voice back to his normal accent which was from Oregon (though I am not sure Oregon people even have a distinct accent).
- We are about to have a group meeting for our Curiosity EEG research project. It might be a long meeting but I am excited to see what our mentor, Aron, has in store for us.
- Additionally, I am very sore from the working out I have recently been doing. This is making my gym motivation dwindle. Maybe I will try to go in the morning and wake up at 6 am but it would be even more difficult than waking up at 7:30 which I currently have trouble doing. I guess I am about to see how locked in I can be and how much motivation I have.
