Miscellanous things...
Okay, to start off, yesterday was the day of the Great Naval Orange Race (that thing that my engineering team was building a pontoon for). The Reflections Pond on campus is a big half circle with a fountain in the middle, making the water a little disruptive. The rules are to build a pontoon for this race using only thrift shop / hobby shop / etc materials, and the cost of it all should not exceed $50 (excluding the remote control). Well our pontoon came to be about $48 and some cents. There were many rules, such as no rope-guided systems or rudders for steering. Also, we get only 5 minutes to reach the finish line. So we were a tiny bit restricted. When our first run came, we doubted the boat would go farther than 10 feet because we doubted its battery power and speed. Well we did okay, until one of the propellors fell off after about 15 feet so we could only turn in circles. We re-attached the propellor before our second run. This was our glorious run, because it held together the whole way, and we reached within 8-10 feet of the finish line, which meant we went about 90% around the track, before 5 minutes was up. We were so happy and relieved! We were one of the few teams that made it at least that far. So anyways, we turned our papers in to the race official and my group members said goodbye and left while I stayed to watch the rest of the race. Some people had some cool designs, but a lot of them seemed similar and boring. Many of them didn't get 3/5ths through the track, so I guess that made me feel even better about our boat. :-D
After the race was done I went home. And as I reached the plaza that my neighborhood was behind, I realized that I left my UCF ID card at the Milican Hall on campus. "OMG!" So I went back there with my dad and it wasn't there anymore, so Monday I'll just see if anyone found it over there.
Just to clear things up, I need to say this. Y'all remember all my entries in the past about "I'm being too much of an attention whore" or "But I'll be too _____ if I did _____" ? Well, I'm thinking that people might think that it would apply to them too, since we humans are similar in many basic aspects. So I just want to say that whenever I say stuff like, "I'm being an attention whore" or "I'm being too _____" I only say it to apply to myself and nobody else. Because I have my own reasons to say things about myself that make me different from others. I hope this provides relief for some people.
To all of you who keep bothering me and asking me when I'm going to learn how to drive and get my license:
As soon as this semester ends I'm going to do everything I can to set myself up with that. I really need a car and driving knowledge. I mean, I don't mind riding my bike halfway to UCF and back. It's an enjoyable exercise, but it takes too much time, even with my speed riding since bikes can only go so fast. So this summer I'm making efforts.
I love making action figure videos! I think one day Stephen and I (and whoever else wants to participate) will make a bunch of them and submit them to Newgrounds. Cat-a-Cat, I know you'd want to participate and your bag o' action figures will be a big help, so I'm looking forward to that new addition to our voice cast and supplies. :D
I sense I'm getting too cocky n' stuff sometimes. I'm gonna lighten up on that now, I'm starting not to favor it that much. Seriously, it's not my thing, ya know? ^_^;
Okay, back to work. Bye now!
