The Final Countdown. The last day.

So with kick off coming in roughly 28 hours (from the time this was posted) I was woundering what everyone was doing with their last day.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

I'm spending my last day being obsessed with kickoff tomorrow, of course!

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

Uh, working at my job. We're testing Catapults and wrapping up on Conservation of Momentum. Then I am am reviewing an Acid/Base Chemistry test and furthering the students understanding of Carbon and Polymers. Then I am chasing down a student that has not completed their STIMS registration so she can attend the kickoff in Wolcott and video-document the event.

I have sent out an email to the team to download the encrypted Game Manual on their laptops, so we have many copies available for our initial brainstorming sessions.
I am printing out paper copies for each group to calculate the highest score possible in a match, suggest designs to manipulate the game pieces, describe how a match may play out, and cogitate on effective endgame scenarios.

Then, my last good sleep for the next six weeks.

Tomorrow Never Knows

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

I'm just trying to get ahead on my school work now, so that I get less swamped during build season, but we all know that's unavoidable.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

Well, my day consists of:

Moving [REDACTED] from [REDACTED] to [REDACTED].

Finishing setup in the GOFIRST shop for Ri3D.

Putting out the inevitable last minute fires that will emerge on my team...

Probably having a nice meal with my family.

Not necessarilly in that order.

Well I have school this morning until 2:30. Then I have robotics where we are cleaning up the room a bit for kickoff. After that I'm going to the mall and then I'm going to sleep. Pretty boring if you ask me but you know what's not boring.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

I'll be having a "night before kickoff" Skype call with a few friends and watching the Founders reception. Then I might try to get some sleep.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

Bouncing off the walls regarding the start of build season. Myself and two of our other programmers will be evaluating new ones, and giving then their build season project.

Feverishly working to create a program to hack the encryption password.
I think I'll have it ready by Tuesday.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

I've been up all night looking at matches and robot reveals of past competitions and stalking CD like a madman expecting something new and interesting to pop up at 4 in the morning. It's now 6:40 AM at the time of this writing, and I have a 40 minute commute to UC Davis for a 9 AM Real Analysis class.

I think i'm gonna take a nap...

School until 2:30, then all weekend homework (which is going to take all night) so that I can do 48 hours of robotics starting tomorrow
