We departed for our jobs and I beat my workshop to the building. I sat around for a bit and just kind of chilled. Then everyone got here and they had big long discussions about what they were going to do tonight. The first thing we did was a talk about weather balloons and we actually got to send one off after the presentation.
Dennis and I left early and he showed me my office in the MY NASA DATA building. It’s pretty small but I get my own computerJ. We went on a tour of the data center and got to see where they store all of the information that they get from the satellites. It was very cool because they are actually still using tapes to record information because it is safer and has less of a chance of crashing. There were about 600 CPUs and they are getting 300 more in the next week!! Next we were off to lunch!
We came back after lunch and we started a project about ozone. We got little cards and a card reader and we calibrated the reader to tell us how much ozone is in the air. We let them sit outside for an hour and during that hour we came in and saw a presentation about ozone and the good the bad and the ugly. The hole in the ozone looks like an evil smiley face now a days because the ozone hole is actually becoming smaller. I photo-shopped the picture and made it my background on my computer I have to say it’s pretty sweet. After that we went back to the building we were in on Monday and just sat there. We started working on my mentorship contract and then Cheryl texted me and told me that I wasn’t going to be there tomorrow. I told Dennis and he was pretty chill about it.
Once we got back to the dorm I colored Jon’s picture that I drew for him at work and showed Seth the picture that I drew from him. I also started watching Hercules. Then we went to dinner. After dinner I went on a walk with Nick and then came back to the dorm. We saw the other side of campus. It was really prettyJ. When I got back I went and played tennis with Seth. He is the only VIMS guy here and he is really cool. We played tennis and I actually got better J I definitely beat him too. But he had the sun in his eyes so that’s probably why. : P We came back in and had some Gatorade and then went out for a walk. We chilled in a tree for awhile and talked about a lot of stuff. Then we came back in and we wanted to watch The Office but the internet died L so we decided to watch 300. The only problem was that we couldn’t watch the movie in English on Seth’s computer so we just decided to watch the whole movie in Spanish. By the end of the movie we had 9 kids watching 300 in Spanish. It was pretty sweet and totally epic. Then by the end of it all it was bedtime. I finished coloring Seth’s picture and then went to bed.
