Despite the intense conference, my coworkers and I did get away for a bit on a couple of the evenings. Everyone we knew suggested going to Short North, which is this cultural strip of galleries and restaurants just north of downtown. So we did. The first night we were in town, we hit a little place called the Northstar Cafe. They seemed to specialize in vegan dishes, but had other relatively healthy options for others. And HUGE portions! We hit another restaurant a couple of nights later called Haiku. If not obvious from the name, it was Japanese. It, too, was pretty good. That same night we went to an ice cream joint that had the craziest flavors... sweet corn and raspberry?? But it was wildly popular, with a line out the door. So these crazy flavors must not be all that bad!In general, I was pleasantly surprised with Columbus! This was my first time stopping in the City (I've driven through, before, on my way to PA). I kind of wish I could've explored their downtown some more, as well as German Village just south of downtown. I'm guessing they have other areas worth exploring, too. Next time, I guess...
The conference itself, as I said, was intense! I kid you not when I say it was basically a college course, complete with final, crammed into 3 days! I don't think the Airport Design Senior Project went into this much electrical detail (for civils, anyway)! Not that I can say that from experience since I did a different senior project... but I can't imagine they delved this much into the electrical side. And of course, my boss wants me to pass along this knowledge (in a much more brief format) during a lunch meeting. That'll be fun.
Oh well. I shouldn't complain about being sent to learn something like this. In the long run, it is good for me. But I know for next time to read the seminar description much more carefully!
