Rookie Realization

[Hieb]

Although this is my 4th year, my team are rookies. I've spent every day since Kick-off trying to impress upon the students a sense of urgency, but every day at 5 o'clock the shop is packed up and swept clean and everyone goes home. Today, however, one of the students was looking around and quietly made the comment "Six weeks isn't very long, is it?" We may have a tough time completing everything we want this year, but I think they are finally starting to realize how hard, and yet how rewarding, all of this really is.
