Today, I had my third internship meeting with my supervisor. This meeting was a little later than usual since my supervisor had been very busy and had no open slots available. However, I still wanted to stick to our three-week schedule so I sent in the slides I made beforehand so that when we got to our meeting my supervisor could tell me any edits he wanted me to make. I then scheduled our meeting for today so that we could go over everything and my supervisor could introduce my new topic. As we did last time we went over the slides that I had created. This week's slides were based on Ethereum moving from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, which is how the network would authorize and certify the work miners do. In my slides, I outlined the plans for this change, why they are making the change, the benefit of the change, and the schedule the change is supposed to be on. This topic was a little hard for me to understand because there was a lot to it and a lot of technical aspects of it, that I don't have knowledge about. In this meeting, I also updated my Bitcoin lightning network slides to include the graph my supervisor wanted me to add. At the end of the meeting, my supervisor introduced my next topic, which is the Open Sea NFT marketplace. We then made a plan about when we would meet next since I have spring break and a school trip coming up. My supervisor said that he is most likely going to be busy on Monday and Tuesday before I leave, so I am waiting for him to update me on his schedule so I can plan my next meeting with him.

 September 30, 2021     Last Thursday I went to my MMUN Internship. For my internship, I work with Upper Elementary students (4th-6th grade) and I help them get prepared for the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) conference, which will be held in February. This week the students I am helping, needed to be sorted into their topics and committee rooms so that they can start research on their topics and countries. I volunteered to do this for my supervisor so she could focus on the other things that needed to get done. I prepared a form that listed all the topics and their descriptions for the students. I had them pick their top three topic choices so that I can sort them into groups based on their topic choices. When I got their forms back I started working on sorting them all into their topics and committee sections, with the other interns that I work with. This process was quite difficult, because some topics did not have enough people that chose them, so some student...

Yesterday, my high school had our Lunar New Year celebration. For the past three years, I have been organizing the celebrations. This year, the teacher who supervises my planning wanted to have our celebration with the middle school, so we can get more students involved. I thought this was a great idea, but I was at first worried about how we would accommodate a lot more people in our activities, as we would be going from about 110 people to 180. This meant that I had to purchase a lot more materials for each activity so that all students and faculty could get participate. We also wanted to make sure we all were staying together and really integrating middle school and high school. For Lunar New Year, we always provide lunch, so I thought it would be good to serve food in the middle school, then require that everyone eats in the high school or on the quad. This way, we were all staying together instead of separating into our building. I think that this worked well to keep us all togeth...

This past Saturday my school had our winter dance. I am one of the co-presidents of the fun committee, which is in charge of planning school events. For the dance, we went with a winter theme so we used decorations such as snowflakes and white trees. The dance was being held in my high school's west commons, which is a communal workspace, so we could not decorate until the day before. So on the Friday before the dance, I made a sketch of the entire space to start planning where all of the decorations would go and to be a guide to the people helping set up. I was really proud of this sketch because I am not the most confident in my drawing abilities, but I think it was very clear. I included the west commons and all of the classrooms and offices attached to it. After school ended the members of the fun committee and I started to decorate the west commons. We put up some of the easier things like the snowflakes on the walls and windows, the fake snow, trees, tablecloths, and silver b...
