End of 3rd Year and Vacation Work

Hey! So third year of environmental engineering is over! Second semester of third year has certainly been the hardest semester in my degree so far. So I am very glad to be finished!

For vacation these holidays I am working for Thiess out at a mine near Mackay for three months. I have never been out to a mine site before so it should be interesting. I am looking forward to it though since I have only ever had one job before where I worked on a site full time and was required to always wear the steel cap boots and hard hat!

I previously worked for Thiess for three months at the end of last year. I was working in the head office in South Bank under the Environmental Manager. It was really interesting to discover how such a big company manages all of their projects. There was certainly a lot of work to do while I was working at a desk job, so i can imagine that working out at the mine will keep me fairly busy!
