Back into uni life

After going on exchange my subjects are a little mixed up, so this semester I have 2 elective courses. I haven't done the prerequisite courses for the 4th year civil electives which are run in semester 2 so I'm doing 2 business related electives: financial management and business law. So far they're really interesting and provide a nice change from civil engineering subjects. It also means that I only have 3 days at uni which allows me to work 2 days per week at Golder Associates. My civil engineering subjects are structural design and catchment hydraulics and open channel flow. For the structural design subject we have 3 projects where we need to design something based on what we've learned in previous subjects. For the first assignment we need to design a sound barrier to go alongside a highway, which are actually a lot harder to design than you might think
