Today went very smoothly. I had some down time for the first couple minutes of the day that allowed me to organize the things I had to remember for the day. Maria updated me on where we were regarding all our projects at the time, which helped me feel on top of what it is we are doing. Soon I did some fun and informative computer work for Karl while he worked on the more intense computer stuff. The oscilloscope that "I broke" will either be opened up, sent in for repair or replaced with a new one, which gives us something to look forward to. Although it is frustrating to have equipment that isn't behaving, we have found productive things to do with our time all the while we are here. I worked on another old computer in order to install Windows, so that the organization we are donating it to can use it. I enjoy working with the computers because, although I have to ask way too many questions, I am learning a lot and gaining confidence in the process. It is important to get as much exposure and variety in this internship as possible.
Maria and I went through the lab that didn't work smoothly yesterday. It was really neat to see a picture of a white light spectrum, and once again I got to see something new and interesting. This experience has been very humbling so far; these people are all brilliant.
