Now..

"Super is too strong of a word, and death-machine. Well, it might be overdoing it a tad."

And so Engineering Day came and went. And i'll tell you, it was AWESOME. Like, if you got an "awe" scale and put it all the way to "some". That's how cool it was.

1.Mechatronics. Ie. Mechanical Electronics. Robots and the ilk. Very fun. Drove cars into walls and watched a talk (well, attended's the word.) by Dr. Karl, who is older than he looks, but it doesn't matter because he is a top-notch everyman. Talked about BP and technology and engineering and solar panels in Australia. And addiction to oil. And free flash drive from a goodies bag. Yay.

2.Aeronautics. Planes, zoom zoom, F1-11 planes and whatnot. Flight sim, but G-forces and hydraulics were turned off for safety reasons. Also, there were too many people on it; not enough seats. Rushed for time's the reason.

3.Chemical Engineering. Or, Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering, or something along those lines. Make ice cream with Liquid Nitrogen. Tasty, but the chocolate chips we put in were like bricks. Well, sorta. Also i heard that Tom Knellwolf got his hand frozen in Liquid Nitrogen. Well, not directly, but he had his hand in a glove which froze and the cold hurt his hand. He's sure to be fine, i think. Oh, and balloon crushing, flower smashing and distillation tubes which are incredi-high.

4.Lunch. Lots of pizza and chips and water. Really tasty, too.

5.Bridge building, but with straws. And pins. We (Me + Mark) came about..3rd? I think. Mr Benic helped Francis and Ian. Mhm.

All i can really think of. Besides guessing a question that Dr. Karl was asking. And something about BMW's and Terraced Houses and Money. But he was just joking.

Hoping you had a fun(er) day. Because this was officially, the BEST excursion i've been on.
