Feb 16th – Volleyball Practice and a New Class Begins

This was my first day of class, which is my surveying course. A brief introduction to the class ensued. This class is sort of split into two classes, the CEM (Construction Engineering Management) students (which includes me) and the geomatics students. We attend the same lectures but we have different practicals (labs).

I met David Ellis, the graduate student who is researching the same site as I am (along with 15 other sustainable drainage systems). He has been really helpful in finding out who we need to contact and set up meetings with.

I went to the volleyball team’s first practice and was disappointed. A few girls there had never touched a volleyball before. There were a few decent players. Ironically enough, a defensive specialist from Claremont McKenna was there and we hit it off.

The coach arrives next week, so I might go back to see if it gets any better. The coach is supposedly going to be organizing beach training on the weekends. All I really want to do is play beach!
