Trip to Detroit
I just got back from Detroit last night. I had to go up there for a ChallengeX conference/workshop. We saw some cool GM stuff when we were up there like the learning center, where they take apart competitors’ cars to see how they work, the assembly plant for the Pontiac G6, and the Heritage Center, which is basically a GM museum. They have all kinds of old cars there, mostly ones they consider to be special. They had old concept cars, some really nice Corvettes, Indy and Nascar cars, old Caddies, and even a few jet powered cars.
I can’t really say too much about the conference. They went over the rules for the June competition and had some various technical sessions to help us out. Most of the comments I have about it are not appropriate for this setting. 
It was fun, but it was exhausting too. Last week would have probably been my busiest week of the quarter, and I jammed it into 2.5 days. Phew, I’m glad it’s over. I had 3 tests, a 5 page paper, 2 prelabs, and my regular homework, including an unusually long Signals set. I was incredibly stressed out last week, so that’s why I didn’t post much. I’m really glad it’s over now. I’m gonna take today off and watch football. The Rams are actually on this week!

Anyways, gotta get back to studying…I have to exams this week.
