Classes start next week. The schedule is still being planned but, from what I know, I will be having Aeroacoustics (with associated lab), Advanced Signal Processing (with associated lab), Turbulent Heat Transfer, French Language, and a personal project in which I get to chose a topic to work on. I'm thinking combustion, maybe? These are all set for before Christmas. After Christmas, it's looking like I'll have a modeling class (RANS stuff), Stability, Compressible Turbulence, and more Advanced Signal Processing. Good God, these sound hard.
I've been in Poitiers for about a month now. During that time I've been exploring Poitiers and seeing all sorts of super old churches, hanging out at cafes, and studying French, often with funny results (see below). I'm planning on going to a city called Bordeaux this weekend. Bordeaux is pretty much the wine capital of the world. We'll see how it goes!
Baptisére Saint-Jean, this was built in 360 AD and is thought to be the oldest church in France.
A super awesome cafe/library/bar. I'm planning on doing a lot of "studying" here.
Things shut down from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. Everyday. Lunch time is serious business!
Creepy headless statue in a church courtyard.
This study method is giving me the wrong impression about France.
Don't listen to them, little guy. You can do anything you put your mind to. You're such an inspiration.
P.S. Here are some clips from an old British show called Trigger Happy TV. Probably the greatest hidden camera show of all time. Hilarious scenes complimented by great music.
Looks amazing!
