Blog Titles Already Running Dry

Anyone else already having trouble thinking of interesting blog titles? Just wait until a few more weeks have passed. Well today I would like to start off talking about that pizza, pop, and posterity. I thought that was pretty cool myself. Talking to one or two of the guys was pretty interesting. I had already heard a lot about the program because a friend of mine already completed the program last December, hence all my old free text books, and he was actually the big reason why I’m here. But it was good just to get to know the course a little bit more from our brothers elder (Heather, it appears you really are the only female in the whole program). It was also pretty cool to get a look at the machine shop I thought. That’s one area that I’m really stoked about, and plan on one day getting into. All the CNC machining, tooling, and working with the materials in a hands on environment, that’s what I’m into. I’m hoping to get a job at a machine shop during the co-op semesters.

I would now officially have to say that Doug Birtwistle is my favourite teacher, possibly of all time. It was a little bit shifty before but man, when he pulled out those X and Y components last class, oh snap! That was amazing. “I dropped the origin,” he says, absolutely awesome. I used to really hate math in high school, especially in grade twelve, but being around someone who is that stoked about math rubs off on you, and I’m really starting to learn it now. Plus, he’s got stories to rival the greatest of legends and lore.

Well that’s all for me. See you in Materials. Need three more words…
