Dear reader,
Nice to meet you! I have the honor of recapping our last Saturday at SSP š„¹, which includes our last Franklin Street run, last take-out dinner, and final deadline for our research report. Some of the happenings:
Franklin Street
- My group visited YoPo, which had awesome yogurt that tastes just like ice cream (I recommend a vanilla-chocolate swirl with chocolate sprinkles and 2 scoops of strawberry š)
- Right before the last time I would actually need my wallet, I locked it in my room (and locked myself out!) so our dear TA Lucy paid for everything for me š«
- In the bookstore, my group found āThe Giant Book of Insultsā by Louis A. Safian, which has nearly one-thousand one liners, organized by aspect to make fun of (some examples were Bores, Show-Offs, and Wives!)
Dinner
- As usual, our Site Director Dr. Rosenthal pulled through with some really awesome options! We could pick from a main of Greek, Cheese, Pepperoni, or Sausage Pizza, a side of Greek or Caesar Salad, two appetizers of Mozzarella Sticks, Garlic Knots, Chicken Wings, or a Vegetable Platter, and dessert of a brownie or a chocolate chip cookie. Talk about a melting pot š²!
Research Report
- Today was the big day: our 15+ page research report was due! Teams were busy finishing up their self-consistency checks, fixing Latex errors, and adjusting to professorsā comments right until the 11:59 pm deadline.
- Once everyone submitted, we had a surprise celebration! We received our special UNC Astro T-shirts (designed by one of us!), picked up sparklers and strings, and took a bunch of pictures outside š.
After a long day full of feverish finales and festivities, we headed back to our dorms around 1:00 am, and crashed in our ever-appealing beds (but not before some fun time in the lounge!)
Thanks for reading!
