Since the semester is winding down it seems like a good time to discuss the plethora of projects and tests that seem to be sucking away all my time and then with a little bit of creativity and problem solving, ways to get that time back. Well the first group project involves designing a flow system for a fluidized bed... aka a lot of number crunching and making assumptions. Based on the very limited design specifications our group has to come up with the entire design from velocity calculations to mechanical energy balances as well as friction losses etc...
The second group project (which we just found out are presenting next Tue) is to research the environmental management practices of a small entity, we chose to do Grinnell, IA initially however the lack of information by the city officials chose us to move toward the college instead. Needless to say we will have to find enough information for a 15 minute presentation and a 10 page paper.
Both of these projects combined with other end of the year res hall and club activities has been making it very difficult to study for tests and do other hw assignments so here's to not sleeping until after finals!

P.S. sorry for the rant but I needed to let out my frustration somewhere.
