Week 7: Day 2-5
The next day, with two of our teammates gone, Eric and I brainstormed tasks that we could do for the remainder of the week. Our master plan was this: Eric would make detailed overviews for every map and I would write guides detailing how to read the maps. When Meridel came downstairs for our usual 9:30 meeting, she looked genuinely surprised by our idea. The look of shock on her face betrayed her thoughts. She seemed impressed that two unsupervised intern would come up with their own work. She was nearly speechless for the remainder of our meeting. After she left, Eric and I continued the painstaking task of going through and making a guide and overview for each and every map. The weight of the task took us the rest of the week to complete until our teammates returned.
