Today was a bittersweet day because we went on our last field trip of SSP: a baseball game at the nearby Loeb Stadium! We headed there around dinner time and immediately flocked to the concession stand for some good old-fashioned hot dogs, nachos, chicken strips, french fries, and tiny pizzas. As we ate, the baseball game started. It was between the Lafayette Aviators and the Champion City Kings, which was fun because we got to exercise some of the West Lafayette pride that we’ve acquired over our time here at Purdue. Our cheers were definitely part of the reason the Aviators won the game 🙂 Spending such a casual evening together cheering for the same team was a lovely example of how the 24 of us, despite coming from wildly different places and lives, have shared the same goals, struggles, and jokes over these past 5 weeks…we’re leaving soon, but we’ll always share this experience of being the pioneers of SSP Genomics!
Day to night at the baseball field:
About me:
Hi! I’m Miranda from Montgomery, New Jersey. Outside of school I love being with my friends, singing in Princeton Girlchoir, playing the violin, watching TV, taking pics of my dog Marble, and doing Science Olympiad. In general, I love working with my hands and building stuff, and my favorite subjects are math and bio!
