well, i have been done with study since july 7th.... but the project closed yesterday (though because of me being the head of organisation for the whole thing, i have still some things to do, and information to hand over, and i kinda want to stay involved and help as much as i can... but that is for another day
as i have been gone for a lot of time, i think it is time for a recap time - again XD""""
i still do not know the grade of my oral exam... my best guess is a B but it can also be a C. both is fine as long as i passed it.
so, after that was done, i poured all my energy into the project (as did the other remaining 10 members, of which 2 are Alumni already, and therefore can no come to the competition next year no matter what)
i was so close to tears due to stress so often (luckily none of the team-members realised that, and i got
lyonessheart just a call away to calm me down...
i would like to share pictures, but due to the size of my team, i would dox myself, and sorry but i am not that keen on that. as far as the project and the competition goes i have this to say:
- we did really great
- we did more than we ever expected - even if our points do not reflect that
- i do not get along well with the new captain, but he is not really my problem so i just let that go
- we were all exhausted - and i do not mean just my team: around 2pm at the latest every team was asleep, which is unheard and unexpected for a student competition, the reasons i can name are:
- due to no competition last year, it was the first competition for many people there, and that makes it exhausting, because you dont know when, what, how, etc
- the new guys also struggled to get the cars running - because the worked with a design/built car they have not built themselves
- for my team: we were just too small to have a party group, every member had 3-5 roles just to make it through - we were beat after a day, and we stayed in the pit until 1am... and went back there around 6-7am...
- the weather: it was awfully hot, and then it rained and went back to being hot again - lucky us this time our sleeping bags and our tents stayed dry
it is not a complete list of reasons, but i think it is a decent one
- we finished as the 2nd best team from my country - that is awesome and we are proud of that!
- our new guys learned a lot - which hopefully helps them in the future
so i came home friday NIGHT and went to bed after midnight, only to go back to the workshop yesterday and do the clean up, and after the clean up i drove my friends home, and on the way back, due to a thing happening on the highway, i got lost in the Country and it took a lot longer than i wanted to, to get home, but i did *yay* and nobody was hurt so far - once i did not notice the sidewalk, and i have to pray that my right front tire survived that collision without loosing air... *fingers crossed* will check tomorrow
today, i tried to do all the stuff - mostly cleaning the flat, sorting out cloths and doing laundry - THERE IS SO MUCH LAUNDRY... but also i fell asleep all over the place, but i hope it will get better after a few nights of good sleep.
so now that this part of my life is over, i am back to job-hunting!
hopefully i will find something amazing really soon - i will start with it tomorrow and make it work as best as i can!
and that is all i have to say so far, lets chat some more in the future, and i should be back now for real, as long as rl is not going to blow up again, which currently i cant imagine it would *yes*
best wishes,
chat with you soon
over and out
