First Classes and Airbus Visit

Monday June 7
First day of classes, prof is awesome. Claude Haillot is the epitome of a Frenchman. He rocked a white linen shirt on the first day of class. Learning about European airplane regulatory system and governing bodies. Not much else to report.

Tuesday June 8
Added a new class to the aircraft regulation...airport economics. Not really up my alley, but it's interesting to learn because I've never even thought about how people make money off of airplanes (guess that shows how much of an engineer I am).

Wednesday June 9
Had the third epic fail of the trip...dropped my phone in the toilet. It was an extremely unfortunate event. When I pulled it out of my pocket, the back popped off, what happened next is literally too disturbing to report so I will spare you the details. Went to Airbus this afternoon, it was a nice break from listening to lectures. I almost forgot to bring my passport which would have been a bummer. I wish I could show some pictures of the place because it was pretty sweet, but they didn't let us bring cameras in (I don't know how they found out I'm a spy for Boeing). We saw the assembly line for the new A380 airplane and the A330 airplanes. The A380 was gigantic, I didn't even know a company was working on a double decker airplane, but apparently, there's already some in operation in Asia. I'm starting to use my computer as an alarm clock, but I never know what time it is walking around town.

Went to class. Between waking up and going to breakfast, walking to class, eating lunch, going back to class, waiting an hour for dinner and then eating dinner, I'm generally busy from around 7am-8pm.
