Lucywu: Life on Site

Life on Site

Thought I upload some pictures of what my site looks like. The site is very big and we have only "taken over" less than half of it, the easier half. The site is on the side of a hill. Part of it was a previous college that moved away.

I currently live in the little container to the left. But I think they are giving me a new (and bigger) one.

View of the site from Bowen Rd. Further development has a nice view.

This is part of the other half of the site that needs to be cleared. We're digging most of this mountain away and more.

About Me

I am a geotechnical engineer working in Hong Kong. I recently graduated from Stanford's M.S. program in civil engineering - geomechanics in March 2011. I did my undergrad at MIT, also in civil engineering. This blog contains stuff about my every day life, thoughts, things I want to share, etc.

Highlights of this blog:

- I started this blog in May 2007 when I decided to do an internship in Germany and didn't feel like writing personal letters to my friends and family about my experiences in Europe.

- After that summer, I spent my junior year on an exchange program with the University of Cambridge where I also studied civil engineering.

- Coming back to MIT for my senior year, I spent a good part of it in a class called D-Lab where we learn about appropriate technologies for developing countries.

- In January 2009, I went to Sierra Leone to field test some of these technologies that we explored over the semester.

- I finished my studies at MIT in June 2009 and am now at Stanford.

- I spent a quarter of my first year at Stanford working on a tsunami evacuation project for Padang, Indonesia. I spent Summer 2010 in West Sumatra continuing this project.

- I am now working in Hong Kong at a design firm as a geotechnical engineer.
