Exam 2 Review Monday Oct. 27th

So it is a bit hard to get back in the swing of things for school this week. This past weekend, I went to Atlanta to watch race 7 in the Chase for the Cup in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. It had an incredible time, as this was this was the first time at a NASCAR race. I have been to several tracks in the past, but this was my first time being at the Atlanta track and seeing the race. We sat two rows off the track, and the seats were cheap - $19 with a student discount. The race was pretty clean, all but three cautions were for debris on the track. The only "real" wreck that occurred in front of us in between turns 3 and 4.

The night before, we went to Hooters in downtown Atlanta to watch the plethora of football games on TV. Of course I was interested in following the Vols, and once again, was disappointed in the outcome of the game. What can you expect, however, when your favorite team plays the #2 ranked team in the nation (Alabama).

Our presentation team has Ch. 2 in New Age of Innovation to present on Wednesday, Nov. 5th and Ch. 5 on Monday, Nov. 17th.
