Yesterday we starting working with solid works! This is one of the things I was pretty excited about, seeing as I enjoy modeling but haven\u2019t worked with CAD since high school. There was definitely a learning curve but today I feel like I\u2019m flying through it! It\u2019s a lot of fun figuring out how to build things, it scratches my brain in just the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the weekend, my boyfriend Josh visited and we went with the group to the Ames farmers market which was a ton of fun! I loved looking at all the craft booths and all the food looked so good. We ended up getting flavored honey sticks, a burrito bowl for lunch, a cheese pastry, and malt ice cream (so so good). Then the rest of the group left and Josh and I checked out the other stores on the strip before riding the bus back to campus and going bowling! We also went to Cornbread for lunch, a place I\u2019d found through our catered lunch and learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday night, all the REU members went out for pizza at The Great Plains and tried taco pizza! The dough was MASSIVE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m looking forward to our movie night tonight, as we\u2019re watching RRR and I haven\u2019t seen many Bollywood movies. I\u2019m also looking forward to exploring the city of Ames more and exploring 3D modeling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
