Tech drafting…a wonderful class after robotics. No, not really, just boring with no parts to model in Mech Desktop. =) So I had a bit of random babble I figured I’d post seeing that I haven’t posted anything in a while…


A memory yet to be made,
A dream still yet unrealized.
A friend to show the way home,
A blazing star burning into the night.

Leadership a skill you must master,
Courage, you must find within.
A spirit to battle, a heart to make friends,
This is the spirit of FIRST to never give in.

Only one thing that has brought us all here,
A bot, a new dream, a goal.
It’s the path that we take to that ultimate end
Is what truly defines us all.


It’s amazing what you’ll do when you’re bored in class, isn’t it? =)

Lora,

It is more amazing when you are driving to OTC in the morning and you realize that all of the houses around you have addresses that are all numbers of FIRST teams :*(

A new house is being built with a giant ‘177’ on the side, I gulped… and then I had to go on my way… past 176, 175, 174…

I await June 23… I don’t even care about graduation, just get me back in to competition!!!

177, hmm? My second team! =) But as we all know, in that number range is almost the entire state of CT!
sigh Can’t wait for Battlecry…I really miss my baby!! (must drive, must drive…)

it’s been awhile since i posted a ‘random’ thing up here… so i figured- why not!?

school… geeez… what’s all this talk of school?!

if you’re amazed at what you think of while bored in class… be even more amazed what goes through your head doing an 8-hour process cap. study for Lexmark!

Innnn annnny case… like i said, this has no purpose… but hey, for anyone reading this that’s hanging at the WPI comp. on the 17th… if me and andy through together a little gig w/ food, volleyball and stuff… who would want to come??/ course you’re going to have to chip in a little for food… (maybe like $5 a piece) cause we are poor college students, but hey… we’ll cook it for ya… :slight_smile:

have fun, drink dew, dare to do the impossible… ‘this is not mission difficult, this is mission impossible’ (badly quoted something from the commercial for MI:2… since i’ve never seen either, or the original, i can’t claim that that’s what is exactly said…)

end crazyness
