First place going into the playoffs
To say the least last week was exhausting. I had another presentation for senior lab about fluid flow, a test in chemical engineering separations, and a few other assignments thrown in there. We had a hockey game on Monday night, but got crushed because we haven’t played in over two weeks, but are still in [...]
It has been one of those exhausting weeks
It has been one of those exhausting weeks. I had assignments due in every class and a test today in modern techniques in chemistry. Last weekend was really nice though, my mom and step dad come up to visit me for Family Weekend. I haven’t seen them since my sister’s wedding in August so it [...]
Getting over the flu
This was my first week back after the flu so needless to say it was exhausting. I’ve been able to catch up on all my work, but now I have a bunch of work to do for next week. No mercy for senior chemical engineers, but it’s nice to have people to work with who [...]
The most stressful week so far
So this was definitely the most stressful week so far. I had three homework assignments due, a presentation yesterday, and a test today. I spent so much time in the Union working, because it’s tough for me to get work done in my house because there is always something fun going on. But it’s all [...]
Fast and fun week
So it’s been another fast week of school, but definitely a fun one. I can’t believe how fast weeks go by now, I guess it’s just because I’ve already done this for three years. I had a great weekend going out with friends, playing beach volleyball, and just relaxing. Sunday evening wasn’t all that great [...]
I know it’s my senior year but this is ridiculous
So the first week of class is done, and I have to say that I have never gotten so much work in the first week. I know it’s my senior year as a chemical engineer but this is ridiculous. It was a nice three day weekend though. I got to play a bunch of beach [...]
Rain, rain and more rain
Even though this week is short because we have off on Friday it has gone by so slow. It has rained every single day, and not just drizzle – there have been serious thunderstorms. I lost my power on Tuesday because the lightning struck a utility pole right down the road from my house and it [...]
Rain, posters, and folders
Well this week was nice because I am now officially done with my summer class. I’ve been working out every day now, because I have more free time, and I also get to work more hours at the office. This is also the first week that I really wish I had a pool, we finally [...]
So this has been another awesome week
So this has been another awesome week here at the office of FYE. Especially last night, cause we all went out to Bombers in Schenectady after work. As you can see in the picture, they gave us each a tattoo when they brought the bill. I was the only one who had the guts to [...]
Chilling out maxing relaxing all cool
So my summer has been pretty relaxing, actually the best summer I’ve had in a long time. I have the pleasure of working at the Office of the First-Year Experience everyday during the morning, and then I am also taking a class over the summer that meets in the afternoon until June 26, but it [...]
