So I have a lot of desserts. Yes, all leftover my birthday. A BIG thank you to everyone who made me something!!! And yes, I had a really good birthday. That's strike three for Curtis Painter and the Boilermaker gridiron crew, though, three games lost in my presence... that's way too many, and for them to lose on my birthday? How dare they.
So I found out the exciting news that its almost 100% likely that I'll be able to come home for the play in November, on the 19th. Which excites me very much. I would put an exclamation point on that, but I'm too busy eating chocolate covered pretzels, mmmm.
So about that project about robots... yup, here's what we have to do. We're given a programmable lego mindstorms kit that has a programmable brain, and we're supposed to program the robot with the logic to be able to:
1. Follow a 1-inch thick circuitous black line.
2. Follow a "broken" black line, represented by 1-inch diameter black circles spaced 1 inch apart.
3. Interact with some sort of station which is capable of exchanging information with our robot.
Should be fun. If you're so bored that you'd be interested in looking at the full project description, you can access it (at least for the rest of the year) at web.ics.purdue.edu/~mrockey/robotproject.pdf
So. Yeah. The "Here Comes the Pain Train" show came together in 5 days, which was pretty impressive. I found out that the show was actually very very very similar to the show that Concord High School in Elkhart, Ind. did for their show last year, which happens to be the school where our new assistant director Max Jones just came from. So basically, he did the same show with us, that he did last year. I think. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: The Concord High School Marching Band was the Class B Indiana Grand Champion Marching Band. Just a little side note there.
Oh yeah. I did go to church again this week, for those who might ask. And we get monday and friday off of band. And I'm done now.
