Day Twenty Four

- 4 Hours Interning - 1 hour blogging  - 1 Hour odds + ends 162     Previous Hours +  6 hours today = 168  hours total Today I worked in the mom and baby unit. It was BUSY. I was doing three things all at once - answering the phones, making kits, and running things to pathology. (I also did a cupcake run to the other mom and baby section because I was the "cutest, and therefore most likely to get an adequate supply of cupcakes"). I also made ice packs and delivered things when the nurses wanted. I also walked a couple families out, which was exciting (but exhausting, too!).  The presentation yesterday went WELL!!! I did it under 9:45 minutes for the first time, and I am just happy with how it went.

Day Twenty Three

- 4 hours at internship - 2 at School  - 1 hour blogging - 1 website 154     Previous Hours +  8 hours today =  162 hours total Today on my way out of my internship, I met a pathology front desk lady who grew up near University of British Columbia, and we exchanged contact info. She said she would be happy to offer me guidance/advice/show me around/just talk to that was awesome. For another day, I finished all the work that was given to me early AND well. As tonight is senior project presentations, I happily volunteered to leave early (especially because my boss was ENTIRELY OUT of things for me to do because I have been working so efficiently). That was how I met Sabrina, my Vancouver contact. My boss also (kindly) used part of his lunch break to actually show me stuff. Today - mainly because I told him I was presenting later and he wanted to give me something exciting to talk about when it came to pathology - showed me around where they cut parts of...

Day Twenty One

- 12 hours at Maker Faire  - 1 Hour Blogging  130   Previous Hours +  13 hours today =  143  hours total Today I spent TWELVE hours doing Maker Faire stuff - I was going from 8am until 8pm, and I was really tired when I got home. It was really fun though! I talked about cells until it hurt to think and got to wander around. I also befriended two booths, and they both said they want me to stay in contact (my issue is that there is a lot of stuff in my lab coat pockets!  In short, today was awesome! I will try and update this blog post tomorrow when I'm not as mentally tired.

Day Twenty

Nothing Senior Project related happened today (and this is OK at this point in time because I am done with all the components and have enough hours. The only thing that I really need to do is practice my presentation and time it [because I know I can talk for more than 10 minutes about this topic] and improve my product if I have time). Today I slept in until 9:30 ( I clocked in 11 HOURS OF SLEEP), got a driving lesson from my Dad, and then prepped and went to Bay's prom. It is now Sunday at around 2AM, and I am going to go to bed. PS: Below is a photo of me before I met up with who I went with.

Day Nineteen

Internship: - 5.5 Hours at Maker Faire Time on Presentation: 0.5 Hour Other - Friday Senior Meeting - 4 Hours - 2.5 hours on product - 1 Hour Blogging 116.5  Previous Hours +  13.5 hours today =  130  hours total Today I actually helped work the Maker Faire. I was with the wonderful organization  GalaxyGoo  helping kids of all ages (this includes adults) made 3D models of cells. It was fun but exhausting because of all the age ranges (within the span of 3 minutes I was explaining to 3 and 5 year old siblings and then to college students). It is has been a long but rewarding day. I also finished my product today. I will try and make it even better over the weekend, but at this point prepping for my presentation is an even higher priority.
