Now, I'm back at my desk.... just... hanging out.... on CD.... not knowing what to do with myself.... hoping to get a call.... maybe at 6pm maybe 8pm... from a fellow mentor.... or a student.... or ANYBODY to tell me.... how great it is down here... how nice the hotel is.... how much fun it was at the airport.... when 100 teams arrived.... the teams they are meeting in the lobby or game room.... the restaurant fun.... :(
I need support.... NOW!!!!!
;)

They called me at 7PM, they actually remembered to call me! (happy) :)

It was only a 15 second call (but good enough):
"Hi we are here.... no trouble at the airport.... oh... I have to go, they are calling me to head out to the Dome and dinner... bye."

So they shared information with you...and you aren't going to share it with us? Well, I guess there isn't too much information worth sharing yet.

So as a support group, surely we need to hold meetings and talk about our problems etc ... Maybe the irc room would suffice (link in sig) sometime during hte competition so we can watch the webcast at the same time?

Well, the web hug in ATL is in a few hours, have fun to all who is there and watch out for those bear hugs. I really wish I could be there and I don't think I will be able to go next year either I will just have to wait and see. I would really like to go, but after graduation I don't know where I will be, college? working? In a different state? Who knows. Good luck to all teams.

Our team is in serious denial, several members our walking around school mumbling "turn left to the Georgia dome." After allo, we were number one seed and finalists at 2 regionals, and we still managed not to qualify.

All day today I've been asking my friends "Why am I here? What aren't I in Atlanta?" but nobody's really given me a good answer ...

I hope registration opens to Tier 2 teams next year like they did this year ...

Today in Geometry, I thought to myself "I could be in Atlanta. But I am sitting in Geometry coloring triangles for no apparent reason. WHY?????????"

Re: So.. Who's not going to Atlanta this year???

Darned college coursework, and a major exam week...I think I'm the only mentor (for HOT) not down in Atlanta, but I didn't have much of a choice. Missing 10 classes, 1 lab, and 2 major exams is a big problem when you're 3 weeks into a new term!

Thank goodness for the webcast!!! :]

were you colouring them blue and red?

what's sad is the number of times I have cried because I am not in Atlanta ... and I'm not one of those people who cries often ..

and i should be in physics right now ..

To my own surprise I haven't literally cried yet. I've teared up very many times, though. I bet that I'll cry while I'm watching the finals and award ceremonies, though.
*sigh*
Next year ...

Re: So.. Who's not going to Atlanta this year???

I have a question for all the people not in Atlanta, like me :(

How many times have you been to the Championships? Where?
Your most consecutive times in a row?

Me:

Three times at Disney/Epcot 2000, 2001, 2002
One time in Houston, Texas 2003
One time Atlanta, Georgia 2004

Total five.
