[Can You Hear Me?]

So...since I last posted, a lot has happened...well not a lot, but quite a few things.
First off, I had a major attack of the flu and was out of school for a day we well as almost bedridden for a weekend. Damn I hate being sick. I'm almost never sick, but when I am, I am really sick.
Winter carnival was last week, and that means I worked on the robot all day through school. That was good. We are almost ready to start practicing with it. We have all the main mechanisms on the base, and the base runs. All we have to do now is wire it up and Ryan wants to write up some more code. Right now we're at 110 lbs...that means we'll probably have to cut off some weight just to be on the safe side later on, Kelly wants to be a little light just in case the scale we have isn't calibrated quite right.
More FIRST news later.
I got an 86 on my calculus portfolio. I'm happy that I got at least a decent grade on it...that come up to being a B-, but hey...better than a C, right?
I haven't been playing so much WoW lately...not sure why, I just haven't. Steph's computer is fixed though, so she's been playing more and she got her character to level 20 I think she said. Soon she'll meet me in level (my main in is lvl 31 or 32 I think).
So the FIRST news...FIRST the good news. We have a really good Chairman's Award going on and I think we have a really good shot at winning it this year. We also have a really good Woodie Flowers Award going too, we're doing it on the team advisor, Mr. Kelly.
More good news, I met another FIRSTer girl, Carli Roberts (the one on the far right...not a great picture, but most pictures taken aren't these days) ...she's from a team pretty close to my friend's down in Jersey (more on him later). She's different, but cool nonetheless.
Bad news now... I might not be going to Nats after all. I was supposed to room with Corey Balint...a kid I know from Team 25 in NJ...but his advisor said it wasn't going to happen. We were pretty sure that he would change his mind eventually, but I decided not to push it since it turns out that last year at a competition, Cokeley had a stroke and went into the hospital. The worst thing I can do to him is to have Corey pissing him off, or making him have another stroke just for me...I'm not worth the trouble, you know?
Eh. That kinda ruined my evening, you know? Whatever.
