So, on top of all the engineering knowledge I've learned, I learned about a new "holiday" today. November 5th is Guy Fawkes Night. The English celebrate with bonfires and fireworks and the burning of effigies. The burning part might be a bit tough tonight though, it's supposed to keep raining like it has most of the afternoon.
My week was a lot of studying, and I still have a bit to do tonight, Sunday and Monday. Honestly what I'm struggling the most with is math - integration mainly, but also some simplification of algebra. It's coming back, but I just haven't had to do math like this in over 5 years, so I either forget or have to remind myself of things that should just be second habit. Saturday will be a diversion though, we are all invited to Silverstone for the Walter Hayes Trophy, which is basically another Formula Ford event, similar to what I saw at Brands Hatch a couple of weeks ago. Our event is in the Brooklands Suite, which must be close to the BRDC clubhouse that we visited last time. It is also an alumni gathering for all former Motorsport graduates, so it should be a great place to make some new connections and enjoy the racing too!
I have gotten in a few more workouts this week, which has been really nice, including a morning one on Thursday. Can't think of much else right now. I'll try to write tomorrow after I get back home as well.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Oh, and forgot to add - I've been hearing fireworks out my window fairly constantly all night, in case you didn't think it was a legit holiday!
