Tuesday marked the end of Phase III of our ICP. The presentation went well and it felt great to move on to our fourth and final phase. Before that begins next week, however, we had the rest of this week off for recruiting activities. I didn’t waste any time and less than one hour afterContinue reading “Solar-powered Clothing”

The Career Search Progresses
It was another productive week for my career search. My plans with GE Energy were solidified and I will fly to Florence tomorrow evening for interviews on Monday. I’m not really sure which position(s) they have in mind; I think it’s more of a “let’s get to know you and then, if we like you,Continue reading “The Career Search Progresses”
Happy Rice Day!
Happy Rice Day to all! To commemorate the occasion I had dinner last night with 12 Rice alumni/friends in the area. We sat around fondue pots in the private room of a local restaurant exchanging stories for hours. As in Kenya everyone was amazed at how many Rice connections there were in the area and,Continue reading “Happy Rice Day!”
Rice’s Game Changing Performance
Rice’s last-second, come-from-behind win made the final cut for ESPN’s Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Week. Please visit the site and vote for Rice; with such a small alumni base, we need all the help we can get!
A Great Day for Football
Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. Yesterday was a great day for football in my family. My mother’s alma mater, TCU, destroyed SFA 67-7. Not to be outdone, my father’s alma mater, Arkansas St, obliterated TSU 83-10. Meanwhile the UniversityContinue reading “A Great Day for Football”
Kings of the Beach
Much controversy has surrounded the measurement of “success” in the Olympics. Should success be measured by the total number of medals won as advocated by the US? Or by just the number of golds won, which is used by the rest of the world? While I agree with the US that silver and bronze medalsContinue reading “Kings of the Beach”
The Olympics Have Begun!
As we finished our last day of Stakeholder Managment today, our breaks were consumed by watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Everyone cheered as countries represented in our class marched in. What fun–I can’t wait for the competitive rivalries to start once the events get going. I was proud to learn that Rice isContinue reading “The Olympics Have Begun!”
Project Day
Today was a lot of fun. We had the day to ourselves, ostensibly to work on our projects. However, many of us also took the opportunity to explore Kenya on our own a little. Some went on safari, some went shopping, and some (as I did) went to the Nairobi National Museum. Because my motherContinue reading “Project Day”
1997
As my chronological journey through American popular music has taken me through 1997, the year I graduated from high school, I have stirred up many memories of my first semester at Rice University. This was the year that Puff Daddy (Sean “Puffy” Combs, etc.) came up with the formula of old pop hit + increasedContinue reading “1997”
Sigh
Just when it seemed that we were back in the CWS tournament, up 5-0 in the top of the 7th with our ace closer on the mound, it all came crashing down. 1 run in the bottom of the 7th, another in the 8th, and then four in the 9th to lose to LSU. OhContinue reading “Sigh”
