Talking Re: Girls on Teams

We've got 14 guys and 5 girls. Two of the girls work on imagery, but two of us work in the shop regularly. The last one works in the shop semi-regularly, but she still works . The two of us who work in the shop regularly are qualified on pretty much all of our machinery. We've got more qualifications than some of the guys. AND we're the only two students on pit crew for our team! xD I did some of the design work this year, and I got pretty involved with the website content, too.
At the beginning of the year I was like "Oh, I'm stuck in the shop for 3 hours doing work for the guys...They're gonna get all of the fun stuff and I'm going to be stuck fileing and sanding...," but I learned that it was REALLY far from the truth. I did do some of the easy work for a while, but that's because I was new and didn't know how to do the harder work. But I learned, and I'm milling and lathe-ing and having fun with everyone. And some of the guys are some of my best friends, too!
