ARG!!!!!!!!

I love robotics. I really, really do. I'm almost to the point tho, that I'm ready to say "Screw this!" and quit. Certain mentors drive me insane and don't pay attention to what is going on in front of their faces.

Tomorrow at 3:30, we're all piling on a bus and going up to Rochester, NY with some parents following behind the bus. One being my mom, and I know that either that day or Thursday Fred, Tonya, Ally, and Michael are coming up too. I'm going to The Falls and Buffalo on Saturday/Sunday to see my friend from California and a few other people. I'll be home Sunday afternoon/night. I'll probably post something Monday tho. I'm not doing my day of grace today....I'm too mad to think straight.

One COMPLETED project :)

Today, one robotics spirit project was completed. :) Finally. Hahaha. The tiaras for all the girls are done. Well, all except Shelby's because she wanted to make her's tomorrow since she isn't going to be at robotics tonight. Since she is the graduating senior this year, I just said to her "Yes, Shelby. I'll bring the stuff with me for you to work on it on the bus" like the good sophomore that I am. LOL
Here is what Allyson's looks like:


Her's was the first one completed. We still have to put the teal and silver ribbon on all of them. But, that can be done at RIT. lol
And now it's time for Ally's.


Her's was completed second to last. She got an astronaut on her's. She had told me to go ahead and do her's after she saw what I did to Allyson's. :)
Mine next...


I gots an alien on mine. :) I finished mine after Allyson's. There is a thing on the side that you can't see tho. the right side. Haha.
Shannon's is next....


I finished her's third. She got the rocket going towards the moon just like Allyson did. :)
And last, but not least...Rachel's! :)


Rachel was the only one that got an input on her's. Only thing she got to pick tho was what color stars she got (the white with the purple inside). Her's was the last one I finished.

Tomorrow when we leave at 3:30 will be a good day and time. While I do love Salem County, I cannot wait to get out of here and go up to Rochester. We get to see Drew, one of the seniors that graduated last year. He was our homeschooling student, web designer, and scout master. We won't get to see Joey tho, who was our team captain, driver, and electrical guy. Oh, and he was also in the engineering academy too! Sucks that we can't see him....I want him to look at what an awesome job I did at the electrical this year. LOL :)

Now I have to get back to doing chores and getting ready to leave tomorrow. I'll hopefully be able to post my Day in Grace today...I've been slacking off without meaning to on it. Hope everybody enjoys the snow today! (Oh, if you can't tell....We got ANOTHER snow day today :) 4th one this year....YAY!!!)

An insane 2 days with my buddy here =]

Ok, so, yesterday, last night, and today my sister and I hung out with our friend Kellie that we met 3 summers ago at a summer camp my dad signed us up for to keep us occupied during the day. We HATED the camp with a passion, but tried to keep in touch with some of the people we met there. Kellie was the only one we stayed close friends with.
Well, every time we're here in Santa Cruz, she catches a bus one day, and we hang out in Santa Cruz doing stupid things. This time, we went back with her on the bus to her house to spend the night. Oh wow, was it an interesting night. Haha. We laughed our butts off, teased eachother, and just had lots of fun. Then today, we walked around the 20 acres she has (ok, not the full 20 acres, but it was a long hike!! Haha) and then we finally went back into her room to chill before Shannon and I had to leave at 5:30 to be home around 6 ish. We threw empty Pop-Tart boxes at eachother, shoved our feet in eachother's faces, and just were having lots of fun. We were pretty upset when we had to leave, but we know that the second we leave California, we'll be counting down the days til we come back just so we can hang out with Kellie. Oh, and about the hike? I told Shannon that all the exercise we got was probably the most we were gonna get until after build season. She just laughed hysterically about that. Little does she know that it's actually true....lol

The girl on the left is Kellie, and the right is Shannon. We were walking towards the bus stop in order to catch the bus to go to her house....Shannon didn't know she had to put the money into the slots. LOL Love you Shannie!! =]

That was the view from one of the spots we stopped at. Her house is like, way below where we were. It was a pretty sweet view tho. =]

Shannon, Kellie, and me. We're all pretty insane, but hey, what are best friends for? =]
