What the Wednesday!

Yesterday I said that I hoped today would be more exciting.  Well it was!  Today's weather was no where near as nice as the weather yesterday.  Yesterday was warm and sunny, but today was overcast, cold, and rainy.  However, the all of the fun stuff I got to do today made up for the worse weather.

This afternoon, I had my Physics Lab, which is always fun.  Today we were studying collisions, which means running carts into each other and measuring forces and velocity.

Later, I went to the Engineering Majors Fair.  That was fun too.  Not only did I get to talk to Mechanical and Aerospace Engineers, I also got to look at student projects that I could join.  Some of the projects I'm interested in are the Human Powered Submarine, the Eco-Car Challenge, the Formula Racer, and the Mini Baja Racing Team. All of these are Senior Design Projects, but freshmen can volunteer to work on the teams.  I hope to join and work with one of these teams.  Of course, no engineering event would be complete without food, so I also got free pizza and soda. Yay!

After the fair, I came back to my dorm and worked on my physics homework with someone from my class. While we were working on the homework, one of my friends came in with five leftover pizzas and he gave me one.  Yay, more free food!
