Studying complete…
Today I read the rest of the research papers. Actually, near the end, I just started skimming them, reading the abstract, skimming the contents, and reading the conclusion. I’ll have to go over all the papers once more tomorrow at work.
The final exam, according to UMBC’s schedule, is at 3:30pm. That gives me plenty of time to do a couple things at work, flip through all the papers as a refresher, and head to school.
I’ve recently been obsessed with reading about wheels/tires/suspension for my car. I currently have some worn down Hankook tires on the factory 15″ rims, and am thinking about upgrading to 18″ rims, but I’m not sure if I should buy them new or used.
Why? Because. Larger rims need tires with a smaller profile (the height of the tire between the outer edge of the rim and the outer edge of the tire) to maintain the same circumference. The smaller that profile, the firmer the tire (usually), so it should result in a sportier ride. I’m also not sure if I should spend the money on upgrading my suspension instead, since I am starting to get some squeaks when I go over bumps. The squeaks are probably just the sway bar bushings, but everyone says the suspension is probably toast at 100k miles anyway.
Decisions decisions…
I need to get an A in Graphics, which means I need to do well on the final. Since I have no idea what my grade is, I need to do really really well.
