These 3 months have flown by and August is going to be even quicker, judging by how busy it’ll be.

After finishing a fourth year (out of five) of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University, I packed up my summer clothes and headed home for another internship at the always inviting Weyerhaeuser pulp mill. Although I’m just finishing up the first couple weeks of my engineering internship here,
