... And the Boards Die

[AJ Quick]

Great, with the Championship Event going on, everyone is there, and no one is here to post on Chief Delphi but the unluckys who couldn't go.

What is everyone doing to pass the time?

I'm supposed to be taking it easy while I wait for some damaged/broken ribs to heal, so no Houston.

However, as a hyperactive adult, there are few things I resent more than being forced to sit still.
So, I went out and started planting a garden this afternoon.

(SHHHhhhhh!!!!!!! Don't tell my overprotective parental guidance units!)

I've been on and off here all day waiting for updates... stories... SOMETHING.

There was a point today where it was only myself and Joe Johnson online. Argh.

And then I couldn't find the webcast and ahhhhhhhh!

*runs to Houston* I can't take it anymore!

I wish I could've went to Nats this year, but unfortunately, I couldn't miss that much class from RIT. This is the first Nats I've missed since 2000...that makes me sad.

I'm sitting here in IL wishing i was there in Tx. This is the first nationals in 5 years i havent been at.

[robomama]

Christina: i know how you feel, hon... this is my first year since '98 not being at nationals.

but, i got to see one of SPAM's matches today, so all is not lost! =-]

*congratulates his old team for getting their auto-mode working*

Well, as much as I would have liked to be at nats this year, I'm glad I got the whole experience of a new team and all that jazz.

There's just a couple things I missed -

I missed standing up and clapping for my team's mentors... after this past year, I think I appreciate everything that they did for my team a little bit more.

I missed Dean's speech... and with this year as an exception, I plan to never go another year without a hug from him.

I missed Andy winning Woodie Flowers... I would have given anything to see that.

Most of all, I missed being around the youth of the competition and feeling the enthusiasm and spirit of the program... I think Dean said it best when he described the feeling of being around these students and having their inspiration really give you a 'boost'.

when is it even more desolate on CD than during nationals?

0400 on the sunday after nationals

::sigh::

I'm expecting things to pick up in a few hours, when people start returning from nats.
