Robotics=major awesomeness

As just about everyone seems to know by now, we're going to FIRST Nationals in Atlanta! While I was a lazy slacker (the only vaguely useful purpose I served during the competition was to cheer our team on obnoxiously), I can honestly say that the rest of the team so deserved the Engineering Inspiration award. You guys rock. The saftey runnerup and entrepreneurship awards were a little more sketchy, but perhaps that's a tribute to our collective BS skills.

I've still kept the scout report sheets that Seana and I came up with just in case we want to keep tabs on the other SVR teams that will be going to Atlanta if anyone wants them.

And I can honestly say I haven't been to a wilder celebration party-the couch pile was priceless. Then again, my idea of a party generally involves intense board game playing and a lot of sugar.

Amongst other random things that have happened lately, my mother just gave me a very good argument about why I am a closet WASP and ought to move to Boston. The only minor flaw is that I'm Asian but I suppose we could overlook that.

Hmmm... I've always thought the Boston/WASP connection is a bit dated. That area got such a big influx of immigrants from what's now the Republic of Ireland and also eastern Europe... I'd go out on a limb and say my neck of the woods is more WASPish (says the WASP, who narrows it down further for his family to White Anglo-Scottish Presbyterian)...

Anyway, have a great time in Atlanta!

When I was in Cambridge this past summer (at Harvard, generally regarded by the rest of America as the educational bastion of WASPiness) I was pleasantly surprised by the cultural diversity of the area. Certainly there are some neighborhoods that are claimed by the Boston Brahmins, but the Indian and Middle Eastern areas I visited were quite lively, and Chinatown is an experiene unto itself :)

Thanks!

You can always be a WASP - Wild Asian Score Princess. :)

I never knew that acronym making was one of your many talents, but I should've learned after STENCH :)

My school's team number is 486. Look for us. (I'm not going to be there, some of my friends will be.)

Have a great time, sweetheart!

I'll pass on your best wishes to Sophia and the rest of the team :)

Oh, robots? Someone was telling me today about a competition that was held here over the weekend, with nationals to be in Atlanta, so.. apparently you'll be competing against some kid in my Spanish class!
