Today was my first day working as a process efficiency engineer in Laporte, TX. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about today...I was really antsy, like a little boy waiting on Santa Clause to leave the gifts under the Christmas tree. I don't know why I act that way...but anyway I was there at 7 am, got to be part of the morning safety meeting, met the operators, hung out in the control room for a while and even climbed onto the coldbox to open a valve. This is definitely the dream job of a Chemical Engineer. On top of everything else, I got my own office...so no more sharing bitches! All in all, I had the most amazing time and my boss and office neighbors are just awesome.
In addition to that, today I started with the weight loss challenge which consists of eating healthy and exercising regularly. The weekly goal is to lose 2.5 lbs. A friend of mine also joined in so I'l keep you posted on how things go with it. Well, that's all for tonight. Need to be rested for work tomorrow.
Peace
It's been a long time since I last blogged! I've been so busy trying to wrap up my first assignment at the OSC, while studying for the PCAT in the midst of packing my things to move to my new apartment in Pearland, I haven't had a chance...
Moving on, this is my last week at the OSC... Its amazing how fast time flies by! In two weeks Ill celebrate my first anniversary in Houston, TX. What a wild ride! I've met so many cool people, learned how to adapt to a work environment and how to interact with my coworkers, which can be a hassle sometimes. I'm ready to move on to my next assignment as a hardcore efficiency engineer in Laporte, TX. I cant wait to move, but Ill sure miss everyone in the office and Houston as well...After all, this is my last year in Houston, [if and only if I ace my PCAT test]. My plans for next year are to move to Miami and start my phd in pharmaceutical sciences. Im ready to step down to the bottom of the pyramid again and be a student. I simply enjoy the student life too much. I'll also be around my family more, which is very important at this stage of my life.
In addition to all of these great news, Nahla has been going out to potty and I havent had to worry about cleaning the carpet for a week now. I know it might not seem like a big deal to some, but to me it soooo is!
I also gave Nahla her first haircut and she looks adorable. I love her to death, and couldn't imagine surviving this phase of my life without her!
So, let the countdown begin....t minus 365....Miami 2011!
