Introduction

Hi Everyone,

My name is Andrew Wright and I am a Senior Petroleum Engineering major here at OU. I've really enjoyed all of the classes up to this point, but that does not mean that I'm not ready to be done with college and start my professional career. My dream job is any one that I can get despite the current crude oil prices.

One of my favorite classes is Improved Recovery Techniques, which I took abroad over the summer in Puebla, Mexico. The subject material is fascinating (especially if you enjoy highly technical eight hour long lectures on reservoir engineering), but I also thoroughly enjoyed all the time I got to spend exploring Mexico. I visited Mexico City and San Cristobal in addition to Puebla. Luchador wrestling is far more fun to watch than I ever thought it could be, and crickets tasted shockingly good.

I am originally from Austin, Texas (Before you ask why I didn't go to UT, my parents are OU Alum). I still love to go back home to eat at my favorite restaurants and see my families corgi, Satchel. He is stubborn and needy, but for some reason we haven't kicked him out yet.

I already wrote up a post on one of my favorite places, Wellington, New Zealand. You can check out my post about it here. I enjoy reading, especially when I'm on vacation. Cormac McCarthy is my all time favorite author, or Bill Bryson when I'm looking for something a little lighter. Another favorite series of mine is A Song of Ice and Fire/A Game of Thrones. My other favorite TV show is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I also spend more time than I should playing xbox. Finally, my other hobbies include my caffeine addiction and watching sports car racing.

To practice embedding YouTube videos, I'm leaving my favorite cat video below.
