No more easy intro week stuff, we're getting down to business. First module (class) is Metallic Structures for Motorsport. Today we talked about basic structural analysis - yes I need to brush up on my statics and dynamics :) Also went over the effects of various heat treating methods and varying steel compositions. The afternoon lecture was on material coatings which is now starting to become known as "Surface Engineering".
The bus ride back home was particularly crowded today and not comfortable. I'll make due with it, but it sure would be nice if you could at least make some of the time useful for reading or something. It's just too cramped to do anything worthwhile.
Cooked a burger for dinner, with some sauteed peppers and tomato slices on the side. It was pretty good I think, I put some mixed herbs in the burger that really helped the flavor.
Wish the Braves game was an afternoon game though, then I might be able to catch a little of it. The 6:30am wake up call isn't very helpful when first pitch is 12:30am. I'm gonna finish up some laundry, and study a bit of the material from today while watching yesterday's F1 race (even though I know who won).
