The Last Days

We finished the presentations on Wednesday, which went well. Everybody did a great job and it was pretty well attended. All the presentations and the papers will be available on the website in about 2 or 3 weeks. www.wise-intern.org
We went to dinner after the presentations which was really fun, and delicious. It was at this restaurant called the Chophouse that had really good steaks and it was a good send-off. The next day we had our last WISE meeting and a meeting with senator Kaufman, which is the only senator who is an engineer. He replaced Biden and was really down-to-earth and obviously very smart.
That night a few of us went to Ben's Chili Bowl, a DC staple. It was really greasy, but really fun. We got the whole room we were sitting in to start singing 'My Girl'.

Friday I walked around Georgetown for the last time, packed, and went to the National's Game with Sarah A (who I worked with at the candy store in Seattle) and her boyfriend Joel (who was a chemistry major and I knew from class. They actually came from behind and won, which is a rare occurrence, and it was a really good game. Now I am getting ready to head back to MN and finally getting excited, now that there is nothing standing between me and the plane but some cleaning and a few hours.

But this has definitely been quite an experience. I have learned so much. I think I will probably blog one more time, as a reflection, once I get around to thinking about it. Thanks for reading, I like knowing people care about what I'm doing.
