Day 9 (Planning)

Monday was a really good day. I got up and got ready and headed to breakfast. I had a really good breakfast and then we headed to work.
Once we got there Jon and I started to work right away. We had plans for Monday to hand out the letters to everyone so that we could get the interviews planned and ready to go. We handed them all out and now it’s just a matter of time. Jon and I worked a lot inside and on the computer getting clips and other audio off of movies that we already had. Jon and I decided before lunch that we wanted to do some of the audio recording of our voices so that we could lay it over the video clips. We took so long to do it because we kept messing it up and didn’t know if it was actually working.
After that we went to lunch and came back in a tick. Once we got back Jon and I got to meet the producers of the show NASA 360. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life because these men are Emmy award winning producers! And we were talking casually with them. They were really really nice and willing to help us with anything we needed. IT WAS AWESOME!!
After that we sat in on a lecture that Professor Lindberg, the President of NIA, was speaking in. It was all about how children should be introduced to engineering earlier in their lives because people now in high school have no idea what engineering really is. I was really excited because that is exactly what Jon and I are saying in our video. We taped a lot of the lecture but then had to leave because it was 4 o’clock and we were supposed to be picking up the other kids.
When we got back to the dorm I really didn’t do much. Nowadays I’m so exhausted when I get back from work that I don’t want to do anything. We went to dinner and all that jazz and then about 30 minutes after dinner I decided I wanted to go running. I headed outside and started to run the track and Lara was out there. It was really nice because she ran with me for a bit and then we headed inside. I really like Lara and I’m really glad she lives near me because I’m sure we’ll hang out after all this is over. Once we were back in we hung out and Lara and I are really stoked because Tuesday is Seth’s birthday and we have big plans for him!!
