Another Sunny Day

I know the rain is coming, but the weather has been better than advertised these last few days, and I've been enjoying it. The process of getting to campus and the lecture hall is much more enjoyable without rain. Buses were much more crowded today though, and unfortunately the seats are not very big and don't provide much legroom. We have a week of introductory lectures, today we covered the basic course manual, schedule, some background, some of the computer programs we have access to and a brief history of motorsport.

We do have a small group assignment, which is to prepare a paper discussing some aspects of technical innovations in a particular type of racing. My group chose to cover drag racing, as we were given "all other motorsports" that weren't covered by the other 6 groups. After getting home and cooking some chicken and vegetables for dinner I did my research online so that the group can discuss tomorrow at lunch.

I did bring a sandwich, some fruit and a granola bar for lunch and our breaks during the day. I'm going to try to avoid having to buy meals on campus every day. On the way home I stopped in the Iceland to find some water as I haven't been able to find water fountains on campus. The store seems very cheap for things like milk, water, eggs, bread, but most of their other food is frozen and doesn't look too healthy. Maybe I can find some good options next time though.
