work

SO it's my second day of work and still no personal internet. I feel bad about using the company's computer to do my personal internet activities :(

But so far so good. Things have been busy and I have been learning alot (and falling asleep alot, especially after lunch). Today i ran quality control assays for capsaicin in chilli oil and the weight of zeaxanthin in paprika oleoresins.
Although I don't really know what those terms really mean, i got to use this really cool machine called the HPLC (high performance liquid chromatographer), and played around with super cool apparatus.

and it was David's (a Frenchman who works in the flavor chemistry department) birthday, so we went out and had lunch with all the staff in the analytical lab. My boss' treat :)

Very yummy food.. unfortunately, it disagreed with my tummy.. and the bathroom had a very distinctly different odor after i left it... hehehe.. it's powderful stuff yo..

Besides that, the lab always smells like something yummy.. today it smelt like allspice, because Dawn was running some tests on Quality Control (QC) and I decide i like Nancy ( secretly i call her nancy drew, because she has wavy, pretty shoulder length blonde hair), because she's the kindest to me. She always helps me with my questions. Jane's my officemate and she's a pretty pious Catholic. Doug is my Boss and he could go on and on and on about Chemistry and how the structures work..

Josh Tuinstra is just plain funny, making jokes all day in the hops lab, and Sheena( is from India) likes to stop and talk to me alot during the day :)

Overall.. my expreience in the lab is REALLY enjoyable, besides having to read up on huge textbooks on Chromatography and Organic Structures. I have to get my groove on for the Chemistry studies...


Tomorrow I will be having a phone conference meeting with Ty Weiss (the engineering manager) with a company that will be selling our company some techniques to treat our wastewater -- this is my internship project for the summer. So I will be in the team spearheading this project for my company... which makes things So much more exciting..

I move into the sorority this weekend... and thus, I will finally be able to stop eating leftover pizza and vending machine food.. ALSO, i won't be sleeping on my own anymore! YAY! I am EXCITED!

I will post pictures later on. my phone is dead.. :)

Later!

Dear Mikey..

I've got some things I'd like to set in pen

I would have used a pencil but thats just not permanent

I've got a letter I would like to send.

It's lacking strings of words with punctuation at the end.

Should I trust this dialect to convey the right effect?

"Goodbye" seems to be the hardest word..

Sigh.. Spring seems to last but a moment.

May Tzy jiejie, God Bless you for your childlike faith
