ugh, i don't like one more thing i heard. if they keep pushing nats back, it will be during APs, and that will extremely screw over many people. i say that if they're gona push nats back anymore, they need to jump back to after APs, for two reasons.
1) No crazed students taking 4 or 5 APs, who are also very important to the team, goign insane at nats because of the study/work load.
2) Makes everyone's lives who take APs much easier. instead of worrying about APs at nats, you just relax and purge your mind of all unimportant information

.
the other idea is to push nats forward somemore, but i don't know how that would work. of course, the last idea is for the stupid college board to push APs back, but they've monopolized the industry, so they dont' give a @#$!$@#$!$@#$!$@#$!$ to other people's needs. so dean, woody, who ever from FIRST that is reading this, please reconsider the timing of nats this year, and if it's impossible to change this year, at least try to make it after APs next year. thanks.
