I'm Baaaack!

Firstly, sorry for the extended leave of absence... Unfortunately I haven't really had access to a kitchen for quite a while, and if I said that my finances were in a place where I could afford to cook interesting food I'd be lying.

Anyways, I've finally started work and things are starting to look up :) Apparently I'm not going to be an energy engineer after all, I'll be working as a production engineer with all the day to day joys that go along with making sure a chemical plant keeps working!

Basically, I should be back to posting soon and I'm still alive! Thanks for sticking with me!

HYSYS Stole My Soul (aka: why I fell off the face of the earth)



Hi there ChemEGirl Cooks followers!

So, I haven't updated for a while... I'm fine, but school is getting in the way of my life... specifically HYSYS and Matlab are getting in the way of my life!
GROSS!

^^^^ That is HYSYS ^^^^^

What does it do, you may ask? It steals your soul It can be used to design chemical plants! I'm currently "building" a plant that makes dicyclopentadiene out of cyclopentadiene, and writing a 50+ page report on it. That's not my process, mine involves lots of reactors and distillation columns and tanks, but it gives you the general idea.

I also have a coding project in Matlab for my numerical methods class, a take-home test for nanotechnology, a formal report for senior lab and a test Thursday in my HSE class.
Basically, it's hell week.

ChemEGirl cooks should start getting updated again after this weekend, once I'm done with classes FOREVER!!!!! (can you tell I'm excited to graduate, maybe just a little bit... :D )
I'll also probably be MIA for a little while while I move. Exciting stuff!
Thanks for your patience, and if anyone wants to do my homework hit me up in the comments section :)

Update:
All I have left to do now is the math project and some plant design!!!! Almost there!
