So, apparently it’s my senior year… What?! Where did the time go? I don’t think I’m ready to admit that I’m graduating soon. Thankfully, I have a pretty solid bucket list for my last couple semesters here, so I hope to finish this year.
This semester is going to be pretty exciting. I have quite a busy senior year schedule with some difficult classes (Heat Transfer and Reactors, just to name a few), so I think it will be a productive Fall. Heat Transfer, which is a fairly integral class to Chemical Engineering, has been interesting so far and I’m excited to learn a lot. Though Reactors is typically a junior-level class, I am taking it this semester because I was abroad last Fall. I also have a class about Nanotechnology (which is really about intermolecular forces) and my lab class for Chemical Engineering. Overall, my classes are going to be pretty cool!
Keeping the study motivation going with blueberry pancakes!
Also, I am continuing work in Dr. Robert’s mRNA display laboratory during the semester for research credits. I’m excited because I am working on a possible anti-cancer drug by developing protease-resistant peptide ligands. It is going to be a very exciting project, and I began working on it this week. I am required to be in the lab for at least 6 hours a week for credit, but I’ll definitely be there more since I have a lot of work to complete!
Working as a VSA means touring cool laboratories like this Civil Engineering lab at USC!
And of course, I can’t forget football season! My girlfriend and I went to the game this weekend and had a lot of fun beating the Bulldogs! Can’t have a proper Fall at USC without a cool football picture!
Fighting on!
