still in pre-employment!!!

well... my background check finally passed after two months = incredible. now i've been talking to the relocation company... it looks like ill be moving to houston on June 8th with a work start date of June 15th... i'm so excited! I have a meeting on Monday with the relocation company in order to explain the process I will follow from here on.. yey!

MQPPPPPP!!!

So Project Presentation Day is around the corner (April 23rd) and I had a meeting for MQP this morning. Pretty much we're going to try to finish our MQP by Project Presentation Day, which would be amazing!!! A couple of things need to be done but not too much. For the Chemical Engineering department, presentations are done vs. posters. I personally like that as well. Can't believe that we're almost there. Getting ready for commencement is getting crazy!!!!

whats next!

so even though I stressed for a long time about not getting a job, and interviews going poorly it ends up working out in the end. It feels pretty good to say that I have a job to go into. BUT, we all go through that stress at one point of: "easy for you to say". It definitely can feel scary but honestly, the opportunities come when you least expec them. Now, I'm here finishing up my pre-employment paperwork in order to start my relocation process = pretty exciting.

almost alumni!?!?!? what!!!

so apparently we're almost that "a word" that we call those old people.. ouch... yup: ALUMNI! we had an Alumni Connec tmeeting held by the ALumni Office explaining the services that are offered to ALumni. It's basically a contact database where alumni can connect with each other especially if you'd like to search using involvement or location and company. It seems like a great way to stay in touch. It was also pretty exciting to hear the Senior Class Gift Committee mention our progress on the gift!

loving the sun!!!

So last week I went to Puerto Rico with a couple of my friends. It was really nice to get some sun for a couple of days. While I was there I had to update some of my pre-employment info since I ran into some trouble with the background check = a little scary. Other than that, I spent some time with the fam which was sooo nice. Looking forward to more sun eventually. :)

one term left!!!! what!!!!!

I dont even know how to start! wow... three and half years at WPI.... and now heading into my last term here... eeekkk... I guess I would have to say that I have mixed emotions... I'm pretty excited about moving to Houston and starting my job. But at the same time I will miss the college experience of always experiencing new things and especially WPI. Commencement will be fun. All I have left are two classes and MQP. Shouldn't be too much of a bad term. I am a little nervous that I have been in this close-knit community called WPI for the past four years and now I am leaving towards something that is going to be so different. We'll see where that takes me!!!

Next step? background check and paperwork!!!

Ohh mannn... so as if tax reason wasnt enough, I'm in the middle of pre-employment paperwork. I released all this info about me so they could perform a background check on me. One day, my boss comes up to me, and tells me that she had a pretty tough time having a conversation with my "background checker"... they were convinced I didnt have a job right now. eeek... next week I need to go get a drug test... good times... who knows what picking payment plans and benefits will be like... oohhh maannn... more to come on this!
