Today after school I checked blogs. Thirty-four people have not been blogging. That is about half the people in the club. After that we saw the movie "Freedom Writers". It was a really interesting movie. I really liked it. While we were seeing the movie I was doing paper work for HerWorld. I was also updating things on the requirements.

Today before we went mentoring I went to go make copies for a release form for the interview tomorrow. After that we went to Isaac to create a new LEGO team there. At Isaac we convinced a teacher to mentor the team. She told us that they might just do it for practice this year but then we met with the principle and he said he was going to pay for the entry as soon as possible.When we got back to school we told Ledge about it. Ledge then told us what we had to do for the EVROV. Then we checked the lights we are going to put on the volt.

On that Wednesday we are going to go to Isaac Middle School for a High school fair. It is going to from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. After school we didn't do anything because Ledge had to go to a doctors appointment. I went to go study for the PSAT test we will be taking on October.

Today for robotics we updated people on what we did in San Diego. We also got an update on what happened in the LEGO kick-off while we were gone. After school many people didn't do much because Ledge had to leave home for a meeting. Some of us stayed to work on the EVROV. Bianca and I fixed the electrical making it look neater. Other people where working on their ping pong robot.

San Diego

We left to San Diego Wednesday September 16. On our way to San Diego we stopped at IN & Out. From there everyone in our van was doing homework none stop till we finished or got to the hotel. When we got there we put our stuff in our assigned hotel room. After that we ate and had a meeting of what we were going to do for the next few days. On Friday we went to Seabotix. It was really cool when they gave us a tour of the place. We also talked about the underwater robot and what we could use for the robot. When we finished that we went to go eat at Mc Donald's. Right away when we finished we went to UCSD to learn about what we would use for cameras on our autonomous robot. That didn't really help much because everyone had a different idea for that. When we left from there we went to the hotel room and got our stuff ready to go to the beach while Haugen and Maria went to go get food. Before we got in the beach we got in the roller coaster. Most of the team got in the roller coaster. When we got off we went running to get in the water. The water was freezing cold. Later on we ate shrimp, burgers and hot dogs. When everyone finished eating we got on a ride that looked like a mallet. All the girls that went to San Diego got a friendship bracelet. Saturday morning we went to San Diego College. We gave them a lot of tips on how to get money for their team. The programmers of our team gave their programmer ideas of getting help of someone else. We where there till 1pm after that we went to go eat Arby's. The food was good from there we took off back to Phoenix.

Today we went to the PSAT meeting after school. They talked about why it is important to take the PSAT. When the meeting finished we went back in the robotics room. When we got there Ledge was in the middle of a conference with people in FRC. They talked about bagging and tagging the robot for the regional. While that happened I was checking peoples blogs. There is still many people that have not blogged for the week. Then I was putting the people who have and have not blogged. After the conference call we had a short meeting of what the conference call was about. While we had the meeting a girl named Cortney came and told us that she is going to be following us for a school project. Ledge talked to her about the team a little bit and we gave her a tour of the robotics rooms.

Later on we made a list of of people who are ineligible to go to trips. We where telling people to start doing their blogs and paying their club dues or else they are ineligible to go to trips. After we made a agenda for this Fridays meeting.

September 3, 2010

Today we saw a movie called "2 Million Minutes" During the movie I went to turn in paperwork for the Ham Radios but no one was there. When I came back I fixed a cable Ledge gave me for a computer. Finishing that John's roommate came and Ledge pulled him into the room. Ledge started to ask him questions of how his education was at China. It looked like everything over there is harder than it is over here. Even though most of the kids in China are honor kids they put them in regular classes. There is more honor kids in China then all the student in the US. He says there is about 5 million in his town when in Arizona there is about 3 million people in the state. John;s roommate kept on talking about his life on China.

Today I went to the book store to ask if we could still use our old minutes or if we had to use the new minutes the district sent us. When I came back I checked journals to write down people not doing their journals. When we finished we started thinking of ideas to put on the requirements. The requirements are based on if you cant do something then you have to do something else or buy something. Ledge decided to start rookie of the week and student of the month. We picked Walter for this week. Hugo and Karol showed us the progress on the video. It looks awesome so far. I really liked when "There is no spoon!".

Today I worked on doing the minutes for HAM Radios. I really don't like the minutes because there is a lot more work we had to do. When I finished with that I was making new emails for the people still joining the club. After I finished doing that I helped clean the play room a little for when the janitors come get the desks and chairs. We finally fixed the drama going on the team about the girls. Every body gets along together now.
