Just waiting now

I finished a lot of the android app. It still needs some final touches. We'll be staying at a nice hotel near the Kennedy Space Center. No partying though. We'll be working the whole time.

Going to Orlando

This last week I've been pretty busy. I found out that we'll be going to Orlando, which was definitely my #1 choice. Even though any of the NASA locations would have been great, Orlando seemed awesome. I spent a lot of time reading through the NASA Educators Online Network. I joined and then went to groups and joined the Simulation Aerospace Group. I went through pretty much everything that this project did last year, which took a lot of time, to get an idea of what they do, etc. I have been working on an android phone app for the program as well, which I started last week. Right now it's still in the preliminary phase, but I plan to use it in the program and have it ready to go by the end of May. Tim and I agreed we would work really hard during the whole 2 weeks -- no partying, going to Disney World, etc even though we have Saturday and Sunday off. We're definitely going to do our best to shine and take advantage of this amazing opportunity.

I made a short presentation to introduce myself to the scientists who will be mentoring the 2-week internship. The presentation is at
