alrighty, so the journaling that i did this time around was about the aerospace seminar that i went to for a week.
it was a residency in seattle, and it was a mixture of stress, irritation, fun,
innovation, and research. i don’t know how to describe it very well, but i’d say that it was
inexplicably dreamy.
it’s hard to describe, but now, i feel nostalgic for that classroom, the tables we sat at, the dreams we all shared together.
i think the sleep deprivation played its own part with the entire dream-like experience.
every day, i would wake up around 5:30 am and go to bed around 2:30 am.
for an entire week. yeah.
okay, that makes it sound so much more hellish than it actually was, but i had fun,
i promise! my roommate was super nice, and i was on my feet constantly throughout the entire day.
there were different engineering challenges and different tours in different places like the Boeing factory (which is apparently
larger than disney world or something like that), the museum of flight, a
restoration center for old airplanes (like historical airplanes from wwi and stuff like that) and
different labs like the plasma lab at the university of washington.
our main thing was planning a mission to mars
we were split up into four teams and each team had a different job. there was mission integration
getting there and back, living there, and working there
i was part of the "working there" team and we focused on how to work safely on mars and the research and exploration
focus. we came up with spacesuit designs, rover designs, research and experimental designs, and different crew work assignments
it might sound super complicated and difficult and maybe a little boring, but i swear i had a lot of fun with my team.
sure,
it was stressful and we had to do a lot of googling but we also had to take a
prerequisite aerospace course prior to the residency, so the knowledge from that helped.
my team was also a meme team.
we came up with a bunch of acronyms to fit certain inside jokes
we called our climate orbiter ELON R and our rovers MUSK,
TESLA and PRIUS. we also called our spacesuits COROLLA.
i promise, they were all valid acronyms for legitimate names
i proposed a couple of acronyms like OBAMA and HEWWO, but they got shot down ;;
i mean, who wouldn't want to call a space suit "the
Omnisuit for Biological Assistance and Maneuvering during Adventures" ??????????
the OBAMA !! then, every time you took your suit off, you could say, "thanks, obama!" and have a good laugh on mars
anyhow, that wasn't the only thing either. we listened to a lot of presentations from different people from places like blue origin,
aerojet rocketdyne, and boeing. we even listen to a keynote presentation from a former astronaut which was pretty dang cool~
i'm not the best person at engineering, math or physics
but i genuinely thought that it was a great experience and i'm thinking about a few different career options now because of it
i don't know if you'll have similar opportunities where you live
so i suggest googling up the subjects that you're interested in that are around your location
you could also check in at some local museums to see if they have any classes,
summer camps or any programs that you can participate in. you could also
volunteer at museums if you want for the experience and knowledge AND the ability to go around museums for free (and let's be honest
that's pretty cool) and
in the end, i’d say that it felt like a month during that one week, and it also felt like two minutes in that single
week. it’s hard to describe, but at some times, it felt like i’d been there at the residency for one week after one day,
but at the end of the entire thing, it felt like i spent only a couple minutes there.
time felt different there, and i think it felt different in a relatively good way.
i also met cheyenne barton in seattle!!
i know i’ve already talked about it in my july plan with me,
but i invited her to the final luncheon thingy that the residency had and she was kind enough to come.
it was so lovely
and so exciting to finally meet her and she's just as gorgeous and kind in real life as she is on her videos and social
medias! i'll leave some links in the description so you can check her out but i truly adore her.
in the end, it was really cathartic to just journal all of this out
i truly think that journaling can really help people manage their thoughts and emotions and even if you don't like to write you can still type
it out on a google doc or something like that
it's just a way of channeling your emotions and preserving memories. i think that it's a splendid thing to do. i'ts a shame
i don't do it more often, but i wish i did. i'm hoping to journal more during the summer
this entire experience taught me to appreciate
learning a lot more and i realized after
meeting all of the leaders and all the people who are there and all the mentors that you can truly learn for your entire life
and it's a joyous process
