Final Report:

The summer has come and gone and now it is time to leave this fabulous dream. There is nothing that was terrible about this summer except for having to leave this wonderful place full of wonderful people. I have learned so much about my project, San Diego, and mostly myself. I’d like to thank everyone who helped me this summer:

Ø Jeanne-my mentor: you were very helpful and you can be reassured that I’ll keep in touch for more advice.

Ø Allan-my boss: you were very helpful and one of the greatest people I have ever worked with.

Ø Cynthia-my closest co-worker: you taught me the most. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to do most of the things I accomplished here. Thank you so much for everything.

Ø Beth-group member and past dmpster: thanks for all of your help with grad school decisions and with housing.

Ø Yael-fellow-intern: you are awesome. You are then whenever anyone needs you and that’s one of the greatest aspects of anyone- you’re a true friend. It showed in my last week. Thanks for everything.

Ø Claurissa-fellow-dmpster: we had some good times and helped each other through some tough times.

Ø The rest of the group: Thanks for letting me be apart of the best group ever! Who else would change Friday to “Surf Friday.” I’ll miss you guys, but hey there’s always SC, right?

Finally, I completed a paper about my project here at SDSC. Please note that this was a great challenge for me but in the end I think it turned out pretty good. Enjoy!
