Hello Good People,
I have some terrible news. It’s my last week here at Weyerhaeuser Vancouver Parallam. I have become so familiar with the plant, the people and even its distinct smell; it will take some time to adjust back to a quiet student life.
Over the past few months, it has been quite a ride as an intern here.

This is what an average day of a quality assurance technician looks like:
6:00 – Leave Home, get a coffee, and enjoy a quiet Vancouver.
6:25 – Get to work in one piece without being hit by bad drivers and change into work gear.
6:30 – Check last night’s test results,

Hello loyal followers of the blog,
This week was a quiet one. I’ve been out of commission since last week recovering from surgery.
