whats new

what is everyone doing after the regionals, or after nationals.

im working at target

also im going to go to 2 proms (i need money :frowning: )

hmm, after regionals, nothing new. after nationals, well, i have two AP tests, bio and world hist, (like, two weeks after nats), two SAT II’s, bio and world hist (one the weekend after nats, oh joy, and one a month later), and then a long time away in june, the NY State regents in Bio, World History, Spanish, and MAth Seq. III. what fun. i can’t stand tests, yet i seem to be taking so many this year. oh well.

i’m also planning on doing something else, that’s not a test! :smiley: ever heard of Boston Peak Performance? Well, neither have I (first year for me doing this). :stuck_out_tongue: Basically, you have to build a small ā€œrobot carā€ that goes ~15 ft, hits a small lip, drops a hackey sack through a hole, and then goes back to the start. winner gets a scholarship to BU. not bad, and with what i learned in FIRST, it should be fun. The only problem, it can only use a total of 2 AA batteries. :frowning: And you thought the 12 volt batteries we have in FIRST ran out of power fast. :smiley: should be cool though, just lots of dead batteries all over.

apart from that, i’m not sure what i’m doing. probably interning at BNL this summer, although that’s still to be decided. i think i’m also doing my eagle project this summer (boy scouts). hopefully i’m building bird cages at a local (literally, right down the block from my house) nature preserve, as long as they didn’t give the project to someone else. :smiley: i should really get back to them…

Let’s see.
Regionals I get no sleep, and stay awake only because how intense and busy i am during the regionals. large amounts of soda and candy helps.
after regionals i do nothing and wish i was at regionals.
at nationals it will be teh same, just 10 times worst (im assuming since ive never been.)
after nationals i will wish i was at nationals, probably beginning work on my own little robots, planning to take over the world, and trying to breath life into Open Thoughts .
wow, these shameless advertisements of mine are just so obvious.

well, im not goin to college, i got heird by Raytheon, and i am gonna be working at NASA goddard space flight center for a year or two. i am gonna finish my eagle scout project, take some film classes… umm… then go to MICA for the 5 year masters in digital art

Hockey! :slight_smile:

Working in the shop, making prototypes of a number of ideas I have for next year’s drive train! > ; )
