So David Foster Wallace remains absolutely...
Even 50 years and two days after his birth. Even 3 and a half years after his suicide.
I think he will always remain absolutely brilliant, no matter how many people write his style off as self-indulgent. He, more than any other writer I’ve ever come across, has a way of forcing the reader to think about Big Questions while reading his work, even if it’s a piece on the porn equivalent...

I don’t understand why my parents are so pissed at me all the time the most rebellious thing I ever do is stay up late to blog
This.
Though I’ve done some other ~rebellious stuff. But not actually to be rebellious. Hmm.
jkellemn0p replied to your post: About CAS:
tell her elle will be sad if you can’t attend!
At this point, that will probably make it worse. I think she’s just glad that I’m back in the house after spending basically all my time at school working on the robot for the last month and a half.
She also said “I’m not giving you any money” which is a problem, as I am...
About CAS:
It makes no difference as long as you turn something in.
So give Raym total bullshit if you don’t have the time to complete it.
Unless you really need that extra quality point, in which case do your best.
Unless you don’t have time.
I don’t really care about CAS.
I care about having a lot of bulleted lists on my blog.
My mother won’t let me go to the La Dispute show...

I hate IB kids.
You have two years to do your CAS journals and logs but you blame the coordinator for your procrastination?
How about own up to your actions or lack thereof? Yeah, we get told all of the time how smart we are and how this and how that we are but that...

Because I really want to write some more stuff like I did in English today, but I feel like I need more practice before I start doing stuff on my own?
I don’t even know.

I hate the smell of dying roses.
But not as much as I hate the smell of tomato soup.

So CAS journals are a thing.
The robot is in the bag.
Status:
Wiring is 3/4 done
Elevator and driving work
Shooter is mounted but untested, fine tuning needs to be done
Bridge manipulator will be in our 30 lbs of fabricated parts
16.5 hours until the robot has to be in the bag.

Robotics:
At UF tomorrow and (possibly) Sunday
At Forest Monday (we hope)
In the bag by midnight Tuesday
We actually might finish.
Have you ever been so tired that your eyes hurt? Because I’m there right now.
Good news: History IA is done.
Bad news: I have lots of homework left.
Worse news: Robotics has to cram 2 weeks of work into 5 build days. And our mentors want us testing on Monday. Dear lord.
Freaking out.
Mainly because I’m falling asleep and I have four assignments to finish before tomorrow, plus reading for two classes.
I’m going to hit my 10,000th post in a couple of weeks.
This is weird.

@amanga - We don’t often have problems, but when we do, it’s because we didn’t order parts, or wiring showed up. Also, wiring is understandably upset - we’ve had a design “in flux,” while telling them they need to know exactly where electronics go :)

our robotics drama queens? that is adorable i THOUGHT we were too problem-free
They can be ridiculous. Like when they ask for specific screw sizes and when they get them complain about them. But I think that this weekend is going to be a 72-hour-long lesson in patience and relieving tension.
h3ll0al0n3 replied to your post: In other news,
Dan Brown has a dot tattoo
Yep! That’s actually where I stole the idea from. But I’m not sure, I also want the UV ink bone outlines done. I just don’t know if it’s legal to use IV ink for tattooing in Florida, so yeah.
Why must all of the tattoos I want be so difficult to get?

there is going to be so much angst pouring out of “the shop” this weekend. the princesses we call “wiring” (love ya, Emery/Kadeem/Joey/Dylan) are probably going to throw a royal fit. Also, we need caffeine for this.
This is to be expected, considering they weren’t pleased with the screws that...
