Nationals were held at a terrible time.

Aye.. guess I gotta do my taxes earlier next year. I was amazed this year when I didn't have to run around and do them before I left for Atlanta as I had many years before.

Guess this was a one time thing so far.

A bunch of people PMed/ emailed me and asked for the source of the information about the dates for the 2007 championship. Well I can't remember my original source. I know that I read it somewhere in an email, but it escapes me.

but to make sure i wasn't spreading wrong information I got the date right off the Georgia dome/world congress center calendar.

I didn't go this year, but my finals would have let me go. There were on the Monday and Tuesday right before nationals. As for the mentoring part, I kinda placed my classes around FIRST and learned that I've got to be like the mentors were when I was on the team. I've got to step back and say, "Here you do this." while giving a student something to do, like assembling the transmission. (which I did the past two years, one as a student and one as mentor) I'm also going to be more involved in all of our non-robot part of the team. I never really did anything in that area of the team, and now I think I should do that for the betterment of the team.

GRRR so did anyone else come back to take the AP English exam Monday morning? I did..and it was painful...especially after coming home so sick from Atlanta But heck, it was most definitely worth it. Luckily, since so many of us AP Computer Science kids got sick (out of a class of ~7, 5 or so came and got sick ) our school placed an emergency order for extra alternate exams.
