I graduated

Bachelor of Science

with High Honors

Mechanical Engineering

December 2008

The University of Texas at Austin

Plans after graduation: Obtain my MSME in product development and advanced manufacturing, and hopefully get a job at an innovative, forward-thinking company like National Instruments or Apple. Or maybe go for the PhD and become a teacher and continue to inspire women in engineering just as Dr. Seepersad inspired me.

I've applied to MIT, Berkeley, Michigan, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, and Texas. I have no idea what's going to happen. I'm trying to get a job at Southwest Research Institute or Dell for the summer. I'm taking the spring off to do some organizing, designing, and soul searching on my own time. 

And I'd like to mention that I totally pwned senior design. I wish I could post the video of the prototype which combined my sweet machining skillz, insane deflection calculations, awesome instrumentation amplifier and bridge circuit, and sexy LabVIEW programming, but I think it violates our NDA.

Scratch that about the Hotot

Instead I want a dwarf Netherland rabbit. Here are some pictures to illustrate the EXTREME CUTENESS. 

I said, "James, bunnies are cute, but is there a way to have a rabbit that never grows out of the tiny adorable bunny phase?" The answer is yes. Except my parents are extremely opposed to the idea, and since I'm in limbo between undergrad and grad school and mom and dad are paying the rent, I might have to listen to them. And I'm past that whole angsty stage, so I'm mature enough to realize they're probably right. They just poop a lot. Maybe I can keep it at James' house.

Hotot

I want one.
