Working Smart

So during senior year at Cornell, we had two of the toughest classes on the campus - Unit Operations and Senior Design. These two classes kept us ChemEs locked in the basement computer lab (aka The Dungeon) and it took forever to get the assigment done because we followed the first column.


During MEng, the same professor gave us this sheet, which talks about working harder vs. working smarter. And I will say, the second column did work out better without sucking the life of me.

New York. New York

This past week could not have been any better.

It first started with the beginning of vacation. A 6 hour car trip and a few hours later, eating, drinking and be merry with some college friends like the good old college days where you get the munchies and order pizza at 11:30 at night and forget where to deliver it to. Then more hanging out a movies the next day.

Monday was spent food shopping and visiting a few of the good ole places of Westchester county - bubble tea, good food, and I forget what happened the rest of the day.

Tuesday was filled with more friends from school with more good food and good deserts and a hair cut in the making in the best city in the world - New York City!!! No place is better. Well, there are probably a few, but I haven't visited them yet.

I'm not sure what happened Wednesday.

Thursday was more family dinners.

Friday was once again filled more good food and NYC - I love the food and smells you can only find there.

Then Saturday was sadly packing and cleaning. It was so sad. I really didn't want to come back.


And then the best ending to the vacation was the fact that the Patriots and the Giants are both going to the superbowl!!! Go northeast US! And now, I don't know who to cheer for. I should cheer for my home state team but I also want to cheer for NE because they're a good team and they're doing so well it would be a shame for them to lose. What am I going to do?

I miss NY...
