It's 3 a.m & the feeling is back! the panic sets in! what have we done?! again?!

[Peggy Painter]

After sitting out of the FIRST competitions for almost two years, I had forgotten that dreadful feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Lying awake at night going over everything in my head:

Will NASA pick us? IF they don't how will I tell the kids & their parents? we need the seed money. If they do pick our team, how will we pull this off in this ultra-rural, ultra-poor, ultra-inexperienced community?

THANK YOU NASA for not making us wait until after Thanksgiving.

Our team meeting tonight is going to be SO FUN!!!!

But at 3 a.m. tomorrow morning, I will wake up with a burning desire to work on team admin tasks...Gantt charts to be made...press releases to be written....no sense wasting time sleeping!!
