My final week at UMBC was quite a memorable one. We spent our Monday Fika going over our posters with each other and practicing our presentation for our poster presentation being held at SURF on Wednesday. SURF was really interesting in that most of the presenters researched topics in chemistry and biology. All of our presentations went well and we all went to lunch afterward. I spent the rest of the week working on my research paper and getting things packed and ready to go home.
The weekend before the start of the week I went to Cherry Springs State Park in Pennsylvania, a place where astronomers observe the skies because the area is one of the darkest in America. Unfortunately the conditions weren't ideal for stargazing when I was there, but I was able to look at the moon through a telescope for the first time thanks to the kindness of a stranger. I also saw many shooting stars. When I got back to Baltimore I decided to take a final trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the National Air and Space Museum and the United States Botanic Garden. During the week on Thursday on of my best friends came from Texas to visit and go to a concert in Baltimore with me. We then drove back to Texas in a two day trip starting Saturday morning and made it back home Sunday night!
