okay, its been a WHILE since i updated... and i wouldnt' have done so for a while longer if it was Charlie that said "UPDATE!!!!" >.> So yes... life goes on, i'm in my 5 day long "spring break" where I don't go to school, but those hours that i dont' have to go... i'm stuck at home studying for those 5 gazillion midterms and papers due when i come back >.> (dam that was a long sentence) Anyways.... small recap: CRC Robotics - Annopoly 2006: I'm part of Marianopolis' robotics team, basically the ONLY first year who actualyl worked, so that means 2 things... a) i'm screwed next year because there'll be NO second years.... and b) i'm team captain next year, which is good and bad... good cuz it'll be a great experience, bad because i've never done it before, i'm gonna screw up, and its going to take up A LOT of my time.... plus, I was thinking of joining student congress next year... but I might not have enough time for both >.> So yea, for the results of the competition, we came 11th out of 18.... SHS won the whole thing (*shakes fists*)... and I had to completely rewire the robot about 3 times... and make many-an adjustments XP yes..... as I like to say, best part of robotics is not the construction, but the destruction ^^ Our kiosk this year was really really crappy, and completely made of jibrock (which is basically a huge board of chalk.... therefore very fragile =D) so in order to break it down to little carryable pieces, we had to kung fu the **** out of it ^^ 'twas very very fun =D Robowars 2006 - Concordia Autonomous Sumo: yes... competition started on March 4th 2PM, we started building the robot March 3rd 4PM.... 21 hour non-stop (no sleep) blitz.... and we still didn't finish >.< oh well, it was pretty fun to watch... and we learned a whole bunch of stuff.... it was really funny, since we asked one of the other guys how long it took them to build their robot and they were like "yea, about 3 months straight.... over 150 hours of work" and we were like "wow... we built ours less than 24 hours ago" so yea... other stuff bout life.... my poetic mind has completely shut off for some reason.... oh well XP the only thing i've been able to think of is this.... "perhaps 'tis time, as Rosencrantz or Guildenstern, that I change the tune on the pipe I know not how to play" ofc, everything i write has a meaning to it.... yes, in other news, i think i've given up on YLZ (or so I tell myself... who knows if i REALLY think that way....) funny how our hearts can change in an instant... oh well... dont' feel like talking anymore bout this >.> and in other things.... I'll be graduating from Chinese school this year (MCCS) and we're putting on a play and singing a song... and yea, i'm trying to go for 1 of 3 main vocals for the singing ^^ also in other things, i've really started playing piano again (well, that happened a few months ago too, but now I play every single day =P) I'm learning Minami's Piano Piece for Sena from Long Vacation (Jdrama song) and Liszt's La Campanella (some hardcore classical piece) also... (hehe) i'll be going to a friend's friend's piano performance this sat... really hardcore and beautiful apparently... XP basically, that's all that's been happening to me lately... and if i didn't mention anything worth mentioning, its called selective memory XP
