Week nine! The last full week of work has come and gone, and I’ve had to face the fact that I’ll be all packed up and on my way home in less than a week. It is truly crazy how fast the summer flew by!

I say that if modern dragonflies were as big as their ancestors, with around two-foot wingspans (see Week 5: Meganeura monyi), I would still try and befriend them. Unfortunately, this would probably be a bad idea.

To begin my penultimate week here with SPS, I worked from ACP once again. I successfully finished the programming portion of my spectral analysis work. I, of course, celebrated with the typical loss to Charlotte in bananagrams and for good measure tacked on a Scrabble loss as well.

The SPS interns did a lot of collective intern activities this week. In addition, Maia and I did a lot of walking (and spending money).

In my final weekend in DC, I ended how I started, and yet, I have grown so much in the past ten weeks. This weekend, on Saturday, I went back to the National Cathedral and Dumbarton Oaks — places I visited my first weekend here only to find them closed.

Dear reader. This week was fantastic. Let's start with an adventure to an iconic restaurant in DC, Ben’s Chili Bowl, with my fellow interns, Kaden, Jaden, and Johnny. For a long time, I didn't know what chili really was.
