And after that
 So, I've been saying I'll update but it never seemes to happen. Here's a quick run-down of what I've been up to. Japan ended really well, we saw a lot of Kyoto and then flew out of the Kansai airport, which is in all liklyhood the neatest airport in the world. The entire airport is situated on a man made island, and the terminal itself is very new and modern. After coming home from Japan severly jet-lagged and sleeping it off, I had a few days just to relax before hitting the road once more to engineering camp at the University of Maryland. That was pretty fun, though the weather there was terrible. We did build an undersea pirate robot, so I'm happy with the whole experiance. Some high moments: Visiting the NAVSEA research facility, touring Washington DC, basically whenever Travis refered to James as a "Southern Gentleman", and whenever Greg spoke of "Team Party" (that'd be us), and Mike walking out of the cafeteria with a giant stack of styrofoam cups for "Pluto's Fort" (I'll see if I can find a picture for that one). So now I'm back home for two weeks. The summer seems to be slipping away, if anyone wants to do anything give me a call (my cell is working again).

1 Comments:yeah, there were very few hardcore math or science prodigies there, but there were some pretty cool hardcore programmers there who it was fun to hang with. But most of the guys (5:1 guy to girl ration by the way) there were just normal people who had an interest in engineering. I had a good time, despite the lectures not quite being as detailed as I would have liked.
