The morning started off with a cup of joe and the Double Tree chocolate chip cookie. It was a nice way to get up, and also a way to be prepared for the 5 hour drive ahead of us. We decided that we should visit Melody’s friend in Missouri, so we stopped by to get [...]

On our way back to LA from Atlanta and Melody has an itinerary for us, with the grand finale being Zion National Park. So we left today for our first destination of St. Louis, MS. It was nice to actually see the major cities of the United States, but was disappointing when we realized that [...]

This weekend Melody and I were on a trip to the Appalachian mountain range in the Smoky Mountain National Park. We decided to hike the Appalachian Trail, toward the Charlie Bunion overlook.  Here is Melody on the way to the overlook, all excited. We arrived at the overlook after hiking nearly 4 miles.  A lone [...]

Moving out of the Fraternity this weekend and finally got to stay in my new apartment. It is finally coming together with my room being furnished and the living room close to that. I feel like I have been cleansed from the life at the Fraternity, sick of all the sticky floors, bugs, and loud [...]

Saturday was the day that my brother and I attended our second muddy buddy, but this time it was in Atlanta. We thought we would be able to PR on this course, but it wasn’t possible, more training is necessary. Well all in all it was still a lot of fun to attend and of [...]

“Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever.” Loganville, the destination for strawberry picking today.  I thought it was going to be a breeze, a fun eventful day, but it ended up being a very hot and tedious day.  This [...]

I took Melody around Atlanta yesterday, or just to the Coke museum but that is basically a majority of Atlanta’s tourist market. So today I decided that we should go tubing in Helen, Georgia.  This was to bring back memories in Hondoras of our cave tubing trip – instead I ended up being sunburned. Next [...]

Day One: We arrived in Savannah the night before, tired from the road behind us. We were looking for some southern food and was recommended a place called Sweet Potatoes. Decadent fried chicken was on the menu and was a must for our palate. This large meal put us right to sleep, getting us prepared [...]

The Atlanta Regional featuring USM and Georgia Tech tonight was the deciding factor to who would be attending nationals.  It started off well with a 3-0 lead in the first inning but didn’t fair well after that.  USM’s 9-0 run in the second inning was never redeemed by Tech. With USM’s 9-0 run, including a [...]

I have recently been working on a research project that is far from Chemical Engineering.  Currently I have been trying to create a board that will be able to automate a manual valve for fluid flow analysis.  This is what has happened this weekend thus far.  Solder board, burned fingers, frustration, and finally completion.  I [...]
