hello from london
« on: October 04, 2004, 01:12:26 PM »
hi guys.. i m so glad that i had endured the freaking long 13h flight from home to heathrow airport. plain miserable and totally unrewarding. moreover i gotta endured a foul mooded passport officer at the customs

 :(

least life aint that bad.. after 4days straight without internet, i felt like fish out of water and finally got my hands on the school library workstations at imperial college to send this posting. first day at the chemical engineering department was pretty interesting. the lecturer asked all of us to derive the mass of oxygen in the air at the lecture room. we all had different opinion of the percentage composition of air (16 or 20 percent?) and the assumptions made to calculate the volume of air and whatever phenomena (such as lots of pp inside a room) that would decrease the amount of oxygen present.. LOL

it was great insight to future team work with my small tutorial group - just 7 of us in all. I can forsee intense academic competition since my tutorial group are mostly asian scholars. glad that my dept offer a yr abroad at the english-speaking delft university in netherlands.. hope to spend my 4th year there!

Congratulations, stay focus. Those engineers know how to throw good parties.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
