Lucky me

It's so nice to see all these new faces, and familiar ones taking an interest in me. I know that we have a new addition to the advising team for marketing. He's been getting the ball rolling on this marketing plan by explaining to all the engineers what a marketing plan is. This project is so cool, because it allows my students to mingle with engineers, businessmen, and musicians. It creates well rounded future employees that any company would be lucky to have

Fall Workshop

My students just returned from Boston for the fall workshop hosted by the mathworks. I'm very excited for the up coming year. I'm going to California at the end of Novemeber for Thanksgiving, and then to the east coast in May. I can't wait, the students are going to be driving me a lot more, and I can't wait for the biggest road trip I've ever driven from NYC to Washington DC. I'll get to meet the legislators from OKlahoma! I'm starting to feel like a real celebrity. As much as I love traveling, I'm glad that I didn't have to go to Boston with a few of my students becuase that would have been a long ride!

This year's focus is not on my performance anymore. (That's a bit of a relief) It's more on marketing and getting the message out about better fuel consumption and emissions. Does this mean that my students are going to sell me to a stranger?

New friend!

I have a new friend out here! It's a green EV1, electric car. It's so exciting. He tells me that not many of him were made, and he's very hard to find accross the US. I feel so lucky that he is spending some time here in Tulsa with me. I wonder if he starred in the movie about the death of the electric cars?
