My New Apartment

Where I live this year!
Green marker is my current apartment, blue marker is my school, and the purple marker is where I work most of the time. I live pretty much right in the middle of the city and next to a big park (it's that green triangle south of my house), which is awesome.

The pink thumb tack is where I lived last year.
The yellow marker is where I have to work sometimes - like all of June.

Our living room. The one door in the middle leads to my Taiwanese roommate's room. The door on the far right leads out onto our balcony. Wow! A balcony! It's about a foot and a half wide and has our laundry machine and is where we dry our clothes. Not the most exciting place.



My room and Pierre's rooms are in the middle of this picture, to the right of the filing cabinet, which isn't really a filing cabinet, but holds like 25 pairs of our Taiwanese roommate's shoes.

Our kitchen:

College + Graduation

Few pics from senior year and graduation-

Unit Ops Lab: 4 hour lab sessions on applying chemical engineering concepts - I unfortunately seem to have lost the pictures of me mopping the floor. I spilled water more than anybody else in the section. Whoops. Damn well prepared for a janitorial career though.


Unit Ops Presentation: Our poster is awesome. It lost to my roommate's, which was glued together about 5 minutes before it was due.



Lounge - homework for something:


Studying - Reactor Design: The excitement is thick in the air


Studying - Process Control: Even more exciting


Double Dragon Chinese Food - I ate here at least 3 times a week.


Senior design projects - a semester to prove that you're a real chemical engineer... lots of time on the computer

Computer Lab - Saturday morning


Computer Lab - Tuesday night:


Computer Lab - Sunday morning


Reception for presentations - awesome. probably not worth the work.




Everybody!

The cupcakes weren't really that good, but they WERE free.


This is a friend's brother's picture of a picture of myself (really) and said friend on the screen during the engineering slideshow. Pretty sure that blonde hair is my mom, which means our families were right next to each other for the ceremony. We're also both named Robert.
