Heading Back to University

September 11, 2018 2:53 pm Published by

Well folks, this will be my last blog as a Green Dream Intern. My co-op term is finished, and I am returning to university for my final year of Chemical Engineering. It will be bitter sweet leaving LP. I made so many great memories and have learned so many valuable things that will benefit me in my future career, but am I looking forward to returning to school and finishing up my degree.

Lunch Hour Hiking Trips

In this blog, I will show you readers some pictures I took of my lunch hour walks with my supervisor during my time at LP. Luckily enough, the LP East River mill is located near a beautiful trail system called Rails to Trails. This series of trails received its name because the railways that were once there were quite literally converted into trails.

Miscellaneous Summer Adventures

In this blog I will be talking about some of the miscellaneous things that I have done throughout the summer that haven’t made it in any of my blogs yet.

I had a few trips to Dylan’s family cottage. They had actually just purchased the cottage in the fall of 2017, so this summer was the first summer we were able to go to there for some peaceful relaxation time.

Road Trip!!

In my last blog I talked about the summer adventures I have experienced thus far, a topic which I have decided to extend into this blog. The weather here has been very warm and humid – don’t get me wrong, I love the heat, but a humidex of 37 °C is more than I am conditioned to. Luckily, the air conditioning in the office is working perfectly and serves as a nice resting place after being outside.
