I spent Saturday running errands. Sunday was a little more exciting. I went to a bouldering gym with a few of the SPS interns and met an intern working in an international justice department. We all ended up going out to sushi together, meeting up with more SPS interns for an all-you-can-eat sushi dinner. I ended up joining the gym on my next visit.

Shauna LeFebvre

Hello! I'm Shauna LeFebvre, and I'm this year's SPS SOCK/NIST Education intern. Just to let you know a little about myself, I am a rising senior at Union College.

When you can't find me working in the physics department, I am probably playing saxophone in the jazz or pep band or helping with my Minerva house (my school has 7 Minerva houses that put on events for the campus community). But enough about me.Testing the Waters
