We're three weeks into uni now and so far it's been a good semester. The lectures are interesting and challenging, so we've been kept on our toes. I'm struggling a bit with the background knowledge, having studied overseas last semester, but my friends have been lending me last semester's notes and explaining important points to me. I'm finding 'Open Channel Flow' particularly interesting, as well as 'Reaction Engineering'. Everyone's applying for vacation work at the moment, which may be a bit hard to get this year. Some of the top companies are only taking people with exceptional GPA's (I've heard of cutoffs as high as 6.5 out of 7), so everyone's been putting in heaps of effort to write really good applications. So, fingers crossed...
