About Me

My photo
I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)

STOKED!!

So Downer EDI has offered me Vac work over the June/July hols, which is pretty rare for a start, and is on site, which makes it even better for me. I can't wait to get out there and check out what it is like. I finished all of my exams Monday, but had the inductions at 7:30am the next day, as well as today. I was surprised how interesting they were, considering they could be fairly boring. I learnt a lot of new stuff, and got to go home early both days :D
Now I have four days until I get out there, so I'm cramming it full with the Gold Coast, surfing, and catching up with friends. I need to catch up on my social life a bit after the last two months of assessment.
I'll be back in about a month or so, hopefully with some great pics. Just another bonus, I get to miss out on the first week of uni, but I know I'll have to work hard to make up for it. I think it's definitely worth it!!

Uni Pracs

The best part about engineering is breaking everything. This one is basically a plastic material with fibre reinforcing (which makes it a whole lot stronger). And yes, we do spend a lot of time watching youtube in lectures to save time actually doing the pracs :)

One exam to go until holidays.... XD
