My sister and her fiance started with our brand new FIRST team their sophmore year. Now they are juniors in college. My sister is a ME, he is going into computer science both with a Co-ops at Kimberely Clark. Talk about a a powerful match-up
They will do great things. By the way-the wedding is next summer.
Long-distance FIRST relationships? Who woulda thought? I would have never considered one. The distance thing kinda eeks me out. I met my old boyfriend at the Indiana Robotics Invitational last july. We talked a little bit and he ended up following us home
. It's only a 2 hour drive, lucky for him. He was charming and after a couple of weeks of consideration he finally got me to break down, throw distance aside, and go out with him. We dated for 9 monthesish. We're both busy, and well it's hard and stressful. It was great while we had it, i would never regret it, but sometimes fate acts in weird ways. It was good while we had it, off to find a guy a little bit closer though.
I do have quite a few friends from the area where he lives. It is mandatory that I visit them.
Even if I don't see him, it's nice to see all of my wonderfully geeky FIRST friends
