A day in the life


You may be wondering, what the heck I do here at camp Dartmouth. As much as it may seem, it is not all fun and games. To start the day off on the right foot, I do yoga in the morning, before class. After yoga and core exercises, I head over to the dining hall for some eats, then class until noon.

This is when the day gets crazy. I work until dinner in the machine shop, working with the metal lathes, mills, 3D printers, computer aided design and other engineering toys. As a TA, I get to learn about the shop for my projects and help other students use the tools for their projects.

After grabbing dinner, I head back to Thayer Engineering school for my statics bridge engineering project. Other TA’s help me with balanceing the forces of bridges, so they don’t collapse. By the time the homework session is over, I mosey back to the pebble and sleep like a baby. In this manner, I work my butt off during the week and try to get out and do some really fun things on the weekend.
