Good Evening!
This weekend I moved into to my summer place! I am staying with Justin and Holly Rieter in their house which is abut 30 minutes from my internship. Justin is an alumni of Juniata and I cannot thank him enough for welcoming me into their home fro the summer. Memorial day was so much fun meeting all of the different family members. It made me feel very welcome. Then today I started my internship at RJ Lee Group!! After filling out some paper work, I was thrown into working on one of the many projects I might be doing. Today, I was working with vermiculite. Vermiculite is a natural mineral which expands when exposed to heat. It is used mainly in different types of insulation but also in fireproofing, in soils, and in brakes lining. We were heating the vermiculite to make it expand and test it for asbestos and to see how pure it was. They day was going great until I fainted on the job due to dehydration and had to go to the hospital for fluids and blood work. Even though it was my first day everyone at work was super cool about it and I am fine. Cannot wait to return to work tomorrow!
