Rail guns, satellites, and general fun

University has been going fairly well so fat this semester. Lots of interesting projects to work on, plus some interesting classes.

My first Aerodynamics II quiz I got a 70 percent on, but at least I know how specific the professor wants his answers to be now. Besides he drops the three lowest quiz's. Other than that Aero II has been pretty much a cinch. I've even already finished the second assignment which isn't due for another two weeks and the material hasn't even been covered in class yet.

Experimental Space Systems Engineering and Space Systems Engineering seem to be going well so far. In ESSE my group is starting work on our rail gun and the "Marriot drive", while in SSE we're getting into numerical integration, something somewhat easy to do in all honesty.

Structures II is about what I expect it to be. Got a C on the first homework, but that's what I get for waiting until the last minute to actually work on it. Also finally got a study group set up for this class, so we can all compare answers and what not for the class.

Space Mechanics is almost exactly as last semester. Got an A on the first assignment, and expect to get at least a B in the class, if not an A. To pass my time and prevent boredom, I'm in the process of transcribing last semester's hand written notes to electronic format.
