I take pride in myself for posting today. Though my last post was in February, I believe that by not completely abandoning my blog, I am showing a level of commitment. This means that I may finally be growing up :)
There's a lot that's happened since February! I've taken multiple trips to Brookhaven National Lab in Long Island, where I attended their User's Meeting (some pretty interesting new results were shared here) and ran shifts in the PHENIX counting house. I also visited Boston for the first time, where I saw Lauren Mc. and met her awesome boyfriend Bill. My trip to Boston was so amazing that it deserves its own post, which, if history tells us anything, I will get around to in January. :) Other than that, I survived the most difficult course I've ever taken, had my very own summer intern, went to a Neutrino conference in Japan, and made a commitment to level up for good.
Today I'm going to post a few photos to get started...

| To save my sanity during circuits, I created Fu Manchu dragon. He watched over my experiments while I was not in lab, and smote my enemies with his electrifying gaze... |
