So today was a very productive day for me.

Technically my first job was an internship through the American Chemical Society when I was in high school. I worked as a assistant to a professor and his graduate students at George Mason University. I helped the grad students collect samples of plants and soil and then helped to process them. I also helped with data entry and stuff like that. I sorta wish I...
