About Me
- andy
- 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 :)

India
So India was amazing, incredibly busy and very colourful. After a week, I was very tired from how fast it was and couldn't wait to get home. It might not have helped that I was very busy with getting my assignments handed in before I left, so I was tired to begin with. Here are some pics (I haven't been able to download them all):
If you look closely in this last photo, you can see the scaffolding (which is not exactly straight, but the building still looks amazing).
It was really hot and humid, but worth the experience. I didn't enjoy the 24hrs on a plane each way (took the longer option and transferred in Dubai), so I hope for no long plane trips anytime soon. I also need to save up some money before I go overseas again!! Dubai seems amazing. I didn't get to go outside the airport, but it really does feel like an oasis in the middle of the desert.
I think I have been bitten by the travel bug, I really want to go to Dubai, as well as doing aid work building homes in Indonesia. I had better forget about it for the moment and get stuck into uni because exams are looming now.

India
Just got back from India (more photos and stories to come) :)
Also, have just seen this clip on engineers. Just keep in mind that engineers might create all these things, but many other professions are also involved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGmIkYw19gg
I doubt Arup meant to say that engineers alone create almost everything society needs, but looks like some people are taking it that way.
