Dual-Enrollment College Class

I think the most unexpected one was as we're taking a break during my dual-enrolled college class (Im in high school, but take college english). We're out on the... I guess you could call it o deck like thing, outside of the room. I'm talking to one person who just graduated stoneman douglas (A local h.s.) and Im saying how im on robotics. She then also asks another girl near us where she came from. She says from Ely H.S. I tell her the name of my friend there who's on robotics, "Hey, ya know a guy named eric cho?" her response "Yeah, from robotics team". me: "You were on the team??? I'm sigmcat!!" "You're sigmcat?? We love you!"....that REALLY confused the stoneman douglas girl...heh

I was in a chat room discussing the show 'Push, Nevada', and someone used the word Co-Opertition in the conversation. I asked, and of course he was a FIRST person (I forget which team). Plus, I actually convinced someone else in the chat room who was a Mechanical Engineer to volunteer as a mentor.

I went sailing this weekend on the Chesapeake Bay, and it happens that one of the guys on my boat was a mechE mentor on a team in Lexington Park, MD. A few other guys knew about it because they were being bugged at work to mentor local teams. (Pax River NAS is a major Navy R&D base).

This is not so much a strange place, as it is a strange story.

I went to Final Bin Bash yesterday, and while I was there I saw this guy wearing a Rutgers University (where i go to school) hoodie, so I went over to talk to him. Well, we chatted for a couple minutes and when i got back to my dorm room last night my friend Ang (who lives across the hall) was like "this kid in my lab group was there yesterday, his name is John" and it turned out to be the kid i met. so this morning i walked to breakfast and he was eating in the dining hall, and we started talking about FIRST & it turned out that he was on 102. then we were talking about Houston and i told him that my friend Kim (kimr) and I were stalking the two guys from his team that went (because their whole team didn't go, just 2 of them) to get a 102 shirt, and it turned out to be him and his best friend. so then a couple minutes later my friend Lindsay (who's in marching band with me) comes over and sits next to him and i'm like "how does she know John" well, he's in like half her classes and for their major.

I completely didn't realize that he was the one that we traded shirts with, and after I mentioned the shirt thing to him, it turned out he had just recently been talking to his friend about that event.

Ok, now if you followed all of that congratulations, you win the "I can girl talk award!"

I just found out this out today...

My current Physics teacher used to student teach at Los Altos High, home of team 114, and his mentor teacher was one of the team advisors!

I guess that qualifies....Team 814 is leaving him alone since he's new but he better be our advisor next year! Oh man, koolness...

I met a kid in my physics class last week that was on team 11. I was talking to another girl about why i chose mechanical engineering as my major and i mentioned FIRST. He turned around and gave me a strange look, and we started talking about FIRST. so now, we sit together in physics and make fun of our professor, play calculator games, and chatter about FIRST here and there.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

Haha I actually met two people in "odd" places...

I was at an awards banquet for karate to receive my next level in rank. She was there for her younger sibling and noticed I had a robotics sweatshirt sitting near me, and asked if I was in robotics. I told her that I was, and asked if she was. Turns out, she's a team 65 team member. w00t!

The second one was during my Physics class. An exchange student staying with a family knew the team of the sweatshirt I was wearing (team 469). Apparently, the family has two students on that team, and she knew instantly that I was in robotics by seeing that shirt. She's not in robotics, but still, it was interesting. lol

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I've met FIRST people at theme parks a couple times. Last year, when I went to Night of Joy at Disney's Magic Kingdom...I saw someone wearing a Heatwave shirt, so I ran up to him and told him I was from SPAM. He just gave me a really weird look until he realized what I was talking about.

And I saw 3 people wearing Demolition Squad shirts at Universal, but they didn't turn around when we screamed at them, so I think they weren't really team members, they looked too young.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I have a pair of ex-FIRST members in my class. One is an ex-X-Cat from last year Sakath our scout mistress in our theater production seminar(we're doing a comedia play "the Servant of Two Masters" she is part of the mask making team, I'm on props. For some reason the professor is making a big deal about a six-week production schedule. ) and in my Wednesday class I have a past member of Rush robotics Zachary Wheeler who was on the team back in '97. He beamed with much pride when I informed him that his old team had won a regional Chairman's award. There was another kid in my class who knew an awful lot about FIRST. I'll have to grill him further on what team he was affilaited with.
