What Now?

our students keep hanging around like the 6 weeks is still happening.
I told them to go home right after school and leave me alone for awhile.

They dont know what to do with themselves.

Enjoy a relatively full night's sleep--I've been going in to work at 8:00 (with a half-hour commute! ) for most of build season, combined with working until 9:00 (or later!) at night. Strolling in at 9:00 is heavenly.

How about judging a Caption Contest or so pre-sleep?

Me personally? a) I'm not working with an FRC team this year, b) I'm a college student, so have homework, and c) I've got an Aero Design competition coming up during FRC Week 2 competitions to get ready for.

There's a loneliness that sets in with the shipping of the robot. It's like sending off a dear friend or family member. And then there's that adrenalin aspect, getting used to 'not' having that adrenalin pump/need.

Parents/spouses/loved ones:

Hello, how are you?
Hungry?
Tired?
How's the homework situation?
Remember us?
Yes, that is a bed. Your bed. It is for sleeping.
Welcome home.

We want to mount the trailer to one of our old chassis and have human player practice.

As I left school today, I realized that that was only the second time since Jan 3rd that I had seen sunlight on a weekday. (Mon-Fri: work till 6, Sat: 8-4)

It was odd, but nice. Then I realized that I had to start taking the bus again, and some of that glow kinda faded.

I get to focus on my school work again. Lucky most of my teachers were understanding of how much time I had to put into robotics the last week and cut me some slack. Oh and no more going to school at 8am on a Saturday. HOORAY FOR SLEEPING IN!

I always get a case of post-ship depression that lasts for a couple days.

Thanks to all the amazing picks and videos here on Chief Delphi I have snapped out of it and am now excited again.

Hmmm the same thing I do everyday. Scan Chief Delphi. Play some Rock Band and RPGs. And wait for the competitions.
