So, I just got back from my trip to Columbus, Nebraska.
It was amazing.
Thursday was the Technical Team Problem Solving competition.
Me and Phil and Mike and Ali and Sam were on a team.
We had to make this ping pong ball go up 12 inches, then bounce another 12 inches, all within a 36 radius of the thingy that we built.
So we ended up tying the ball to a 36 inch string, attaching that to a mousetrap we taped a spoon on, taped that to the table, placed the ball in the spoon, let loose the trap, and let it fly.
It was insanely simple, but awesome.
Phil came up with the idea, I did the write-up for it, and everyone else built it.
We were the best team ever.
Then afterwards there was time with the team. We celebrated by buying a completely ridiculous amount of junk food.
Next day was the Advertising Design competition for me and my Phil.
We had to design a CD pullout and back for some random band.
Playing with Photoshop is difficult. T_T
Then the rest of the day was just quality time with my favourite Mexican.
Wow, I'm crazy in love with him.
Then there was today!
Awards ceremony!
Guess who got first place in Technical Team Problem Solving?
We did!
Guess who got third in Ad Design?
Oh yeah. :points to self:
And that comes with a $500 scholarship, so woot!
Then we drove home and I went to Phil's house for a bit.
Again, crazy in love I am.
I think today was one of the best days of my life, really.
^^ And it was made even better, because it's me and the mantoy's 8 month anniversary.
Yay!
But now I am back.
So yay!
Now to write my senior paper..... |
