First day at Savannah River Site

It was a long day. From the time of departure to the Savannah River Site to the end of the three hour lecture. It was a nice experience being reminded of what I have a passion for, the environment. The lecture was not like a single topic discussion, but also included life skills. Apart form the environmental studies,the instructor, Prof. Wilson, emphasized of the management of money(credit score)- how it affects emplyment in future, and the impact of life skills alongside a high GPA. He continued by bringing to light, space science, a disciple I never considered . He explained how this disciple alone is multi-displinary. The class was was one of kind I expected to have in this internship, though I got tired by the end of the second hour. A ten minute break was taken after two hours, and later, the last hour of class was taken. After the last hour was lunch, and then a five minute insufficient tour was administered by a personnel at the site. We, the group, went back to the class and agreed on a topic, Climate Change, to research and a present on the last week on class. At this time, the fun class was over, and we headed back to USC Aiken. What next..... I slept and.......... played ping pong...
