first of all, i hate this computer, i just had a beautifully written post typed out and my computer just decided to go blank, but anyway, back to the topic....

This year, for the first year ever, S.P.A.M. has started a girl's camp, or so we call it. It's where they bring girls into the pit to where all the machinery is, and send them to work. Okay, not really. It's just where the girls can come into the pit and learn about all the tools and machinery without being bothered by any of the guys telling them that they don't know what they're doing and to leave. Now, when our meetings start up, the girls can tell all the guys that they don't know what they're doing and that they should leave it to the professionals. okay, well, i'm only half kidding about that, the girls on 180 aren't that mean.
Today was the first day of camp. 7 of us showed up, and we expect someone else tomarrow. Plus, we have another 4, i think, girls on our team. The pit was so quiet.... and clean! The only people there were the 7 of us, the coordinator of the camp, and an engineer. We made nuts from a drawing. We all learned about calipers, bansaws, mills, and lathes. Most of all, we got practice making things from a drawing, which is what we'll need to do for build season, and we learned how to use the machinery PROPERLY.
We started making screws, but we didn't have enough time, so we'll finish that tomarrow.
I really wish this would have been here my freshman year, because then i wouldn't have been pushed out of the pit because i didn't know what i was doing. but still, even tho i am going to be a junior, i'm still happy that i'm learning how to properly use all the machinery, and i'm also really glad that we've got more girls on the team.... Go RCU!!!
