Halloween/XC Invitational

By Sam ⋅ November 1, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Halloween weekend was a lot of fun despite some rain that we got Saturday night. Saturday morning/afternoon was great weather and I spent that time at Saratoga watching the Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Teams running at the RPI Invitational. Congrats to both teams with the Men finishing 4rd overall and the Women 3rd overall.

Halloween is almost here!

By Omar ⋅ October 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Halloween is almost here! Goobers and Family Weekend both went well. It has been a pretty easy going week except that I had a test this morning in Modeling and Control of Dynamic Systems. I was up pretty late last night reviewing since I was really busy during the day, so you can probably guess [...]

This week was another one with plenty of work

By Andrew ⋅ October 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This week was another one with plenty of work. I had an exam in chemistry on Wednesday and a quiz in calculus on Friday. I’m pretty sure I did well on both of them but I’ll just have to wait until next week to get my grades back. Speaking of next week, I have my [...]

Snow!!

By Brian ⋅ October 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This morning, at about 7:30, as I was getting on my bike to drive to campus, I noticed the first flakes of the year falling. I was very surprised to see snow this early in October, but I guess it’s that time of year again. The last several nights have dropped below freezing, but this [...]

Getting over the flu

By Derek ⋅ October 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

This has been a good week

By Andrew ⋅ October 15, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This has been a good week. It was nice and short thanks to the day off from Columbus Day. In terms of work it’s been pretty much business as usual. I’ve been kept pretty busy with homework and studying. I have a quiz in my class on Israel this upcoming Monday that covers most of [...]

Sick

By Aidan ⋅ October 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

A major and obvious difference from Chapel Hill, NC to Troy, NY is the weather. It is starting to get chilly here. Today in my Science, Technology, and Society recitation I get to lead a discussion on over-consumption by the wealthy. The class has really made me reconsider how I think. One of the main [...]

Fall Rush Over

By Omar ⋅ October 2, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Hi Everyone,
Fall rush is finally over. Greek fraternities are giving out bids this week and creating potential pledge classes. A bid is an invitation to become a member of the fraternity. Pledging is the process they go through to become a full member, as opposed to an associate member. Each pledge process depends on the [...]

Quick Week

By Andrew ⋅ October 2, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This week has gone by so quickly! I had three exams this week, and I feel really good about how I did on all of them. I actually got my chemistry exam back today, and I got an A on that so fingers crossed that the rest of them have similar grades! Hopefully I should [...]

Down to business!

By Franklin ⋅ September 25, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This last week has marked the true beginning of the fall semester. Tests have begun to appear, more and more events are popping up on the calendar, and the first parties have commenced. Of particular note was the mini-party held last night, which was a celebration sponsored by Ubisoft to celebrate the release of one [...]
