Awwww.....Ken remembered to mention me!!
For all that dont know (or care
)....I gave up aim for Lent...and I was even off of the forums for a good month or so.
Then I realized that I had missed most of the 6 weeks without giving it a second thought...until that point.
Things are in the works for Babson becoming involved in FIRST. It's hard, selling FIRST in a different way, not as training engineers, but as training business entrepreneurs. Because, in actuality, FIRST is also training students in accounting, marketing, public speaking and presentation skills, as well as giving them a heavy appreciation for technology and an ability to relate to professionals within technical fields such as Engineering and Information Systems.
I had a meeting with the Student Govt Association last nite to get a busload of Babsonites to the UTC regional...and that just may fly. They suggested eventually having a mini-competition just for college-sponsored teams...because, well, theyre competitive like that.
And yes, through all that, I am focusing on school. My business was the first to break even and we are now at $1000 in profit! It's still not too late to make a bulk order for your team for Nationals ::shameless plug::

Have a lovely shipping day!
