| This is fun to read!
Warning anxiousmom:
Due to a certain professor needing to change the final presentations of certain senior design projects, 24 engineering students are having to present their stuff during the week that they are all supposed to be "playing" before graduation! Grrrr.. So, until those presentations are complete and the grades are in, they can't calculate the "laude" stuff. The prof had to get special permission to do this!! Many not-happy seniors!! Three guesses who one of those "not-so-happy" seniors is! Of course, being engineering majors, they were all figuring ways to do the presentations remotely from whatever beach they are hanging out on!! (DS getting a degree from Rice in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, with concentration in Physics).
DS also decided he wanted a "break" from school. S didn't want to go straight to grad school. And, it is appropriate that I am posting this on "earth Day" b/c he decided at this point he doesn't want to work for the big oil companies (turned down 2 very, very, VERY nice offers) but instead wanted to do something "green"-- renewables, alternative energy, stuff that he feels will make a difference to our environment and quality of life. So, he accepted a position with a firm in FL that does water desalination, water harvesting, etc. Really cool stuff! And, he'll be a *little* closer to home. YAY! However, 2 days after graduation he is going back to Nicaragua do continue volunteer work with "Engineers without Borders". He's a keeper. |
