2009 - The year thus far

Once again, posting hasn't been at an all time high. Nevertheless, here goes.

After returning home from a fantastic overseas trip round the world, I began 2009 working with GHD within the Marine Structures Group. Over the course of my 12 week work experience rotation I gained an enormous amount of practical knowledge, completed a satisfying amount of work and continued to build my contact list.

GHD have encouraged me to make regular contact with them regarding my studies, graduation and life in general.

Semester 1 really flew by! Once again I elected to study 5 subjects in a bid to complete my degree 6 months early. I must say, I was so glad with my fluid mechanics grade. I really surprised myself.

Semester 2 is just beginning to heat up with plenty of assessment on the horizon.

As for my social life (what social life...?) I am having a ball with 21st's galore ( I was born in 1988...a lot of my school friends and colleagues turn 21 this year).

I plan to report back again soon on my 2009-2010 vacation work program - Cheers, Damian

Semester 2 2008 Finished

Hi All,

Just thought I would drop in and let you all know how happy I am to be finished semester 2 2008.

Tomorrow I leave for the united states which is also quite exciting. I'll be sure to post some photos in the next few weeks.

Hope you all have a good Christmas break!

Last weekend, 24/05/08, I was lucky enough to present at the Mining Careers Stand at the Brisbane Careers & Employment Expo.

Among many things, it became very clear how many people want to drive a truck on a mine site :) Me being me, I pushed the engineering and physical sciences relevant to the minerals industry.

Thanks must go to Rebecca May for giving me the opportunity to speak to such a wide variety of people (particularly young'ns) on a range of career related issues. Furthermore, a big thank you must go to all the visitors to our stand (I gave a card to a few of you...with regards to my site, as I told you, nothing special but I'm working on it, check it out every now and again).

Overseas!

Planning my overseas trip for the end of this year. More to come ladies and gents :]

Very hard to believe that someone would actually do this. I feel sorry for this guy, I think we should start a charity in his honour.
