I don't really have an inspiring story or anything. It was more like..
Meredith: Karen! I know you from the play! Join robotics!
Me: *while getting pushed and shoved from every direction as people run towards the CSC table, which is giving out candy* umm...when are the meetings? *note over committed stressed voice*
Meredith: Whenever you can come
Me: So....if I can't some, I don't have to?
Meredith: Right.
Me: Ok. Sign me up.
Fortunately, I did go to a view meetings and realized that I loved FIRST.
