Welcome To MySilverClouds

Ok, so it's kinda lame. But whatever, you'll learn to like it soon. You can call me Silver, I use that name often online.

Lately, I've been bored... I know I shouldn't be bored, cause I'm about to have to dive into the college application process, but no. I'm bored. Any suggestions are welcomed in the comment box to help me escape my boredom.

So, I haven't kept a diary for almost a year, so I'm a little rough around the edges, but just like riding a bicicle, it'll all come back to me soon. This will be easier than writing in a diary, cause unline a diary, I can hit backspace and not have to whip out the white out to fix on of my frequent errors or changes.

I'll see if I can post everyday. It'll be dificult, but I'll give it a shot.

So... Today. I slept in really late, and when I say really late, I mean REALLY, REALLY late. I slept in till about 12:30AM. This is all because of something I decided to do way back in the beginning of the year, not knowing how it would effect me now. So going way back to January, I thought to myself, "Hey! Why not join the BotBall Robotics Team? If I join, then there's a posibility that my school could take their first all girls team! So, why not?" So I joined, and we built a robot. And it got later and later into the game, cause we only had a month to do the building and programing. We started last month, and finished yesterday morning.

So, this past Friday, the girl's team got together for the overnight cram secion so that we could actually win something. But, our robot decided that it was a good time to just die. So it did. And we all got really upset, and we called our supervisor, four times from 11 to 12 at night. He couldn't help us at all. So we stay up until 2 in the morning to try to get this robot to work, and it's still not working when we go to sleep. We wake up at 4 in the morning so that we could get to the school at 5:10. All of us were dead on our feet with only two hours of sleep, but we made it to the school on time. We all slept on the two hour long bus ride to the competition.

When we arrived, we ran to our table, unpacked, and took our disfunctional robot to somebody from tech support. Well, we spent a good hour with the tech support dude trying to get our robot to work, and we just had to mess with the cords of the robot to get it to go, so we only had an hour to do what we had planned to spend the whole previous night doing. Basically, we failed. In a double elimination round, we were the first eliminated. But the whole time through the month of preparation, we had to do documentation. So, by the end of the day, we got no points, but we got third place in documentation--a fiet only achieved on the third year for the boy's teams. Us girls had mixed feelings, but we know that next year, we'll do better. We got back late last night, around 10:30. And it took me a half an hour to get home from the school. I crashed last night from 11:00 to about 12:30 this morning.

It's been a long weekend. I'm glad it's over.
