Hi, my name is Daisy Fernandez. I'm a sophomore at Carl Hayden Community High School. This is my first year in the Falcon Robotics team. I am a electrician and histrian for the team. I'm also, in the Falcon Marching Band (play Alto Saxophone),Blue Planet Society(BPS),Hispanic Youth Institute(HYI), and Falcon Town Club. This blog is basically what I do everyday.

Experience
In the morning I was taking the ham radio test when Oscar came back form Mexico, legally. With the help of the media and robotics he was able to come back to the U.S.A from Mexico. He has a electric engineering degree! Everyone was so happy and got in a group hug. It looked like Ledge wanted to cry, everyone was so emotional and happy. Even Richard was there in the morning from "Arizona Republic" and we took a picture of the whole group. Then after school in robotics. I went to the Robotics room. Dillon, Jorge and some one else ( don't know her name) were in charge of teaching the new people on how to build a robot. They were showing what we need to do to put the wheels on the robot. The measurement had to be exact. I got to make sure the levels of the fiber glass were squared. Soon the table got really full and I wasn't doing anything so I went to see what else I could do. I saw Karol ( think i spelled his name right) and some senior doing things. So, I decided that I should ask if Karol teach what he was teaching the senior. He taught me how to grind the material to a almost smooth edge on the grinding machine. Then he taught me how to cut the material with a small saw because I was having difficulties using the big one. Then I learned how to measure. Next I had to go to band so I waited for Mia who is also in band and drilling something in. While I waited I talked to Bianca and she was taking out a small metal thing from a small plastic box thing. If she did take it out then they could reuse it and it wouldn't go in the trash. I also found out about the car accident in the falcon retreat. I hope the three guys are alright.
Last Friday
I forgot to blog last Friday. So, I'm blogging on a Monday morning. I didn't go Friday morning to Robotics because I had to go to band pratice in the morning. Next I came after school and I helped Isabel organize shelves for open house. Mia, Sandra, and I then went outside and passed sponsers borchures out to college representation to help Robotics. I don't if they will sponser but I left my e-mail with them so if they have any questions they can contact me. Well if they don't sponsper, it didn't hurt to try. Next my mom came to open house, which was a surprise because she said she couldn't come. I showed her my classes ( had A's in each one), then I had to go to band to play at the football game. Our football team lost 14 to 33.

Google phone calls
Today in the morning Ledge took credit for showing us that google can call people using a computer. I saw the little pop up for that yesterday on my google docs but i didn'y pay much to it. Guess taking things that are important for granted. But anyhow they demonstartaed it worked by making Jesus call Eddie using his computer and a mircophone. It worked so now we can call peopel using computers! And today I'm coming after school for robotics and not going to Blue Planet. I need to start doing things more things in robotics so I guess I need to stop going to Blue Planet plus I need to be in robotics more often because there going to show me the important things about being a extra lego refree.

Movie
Today after school we saw a movie called "The Road" which was depressing. It was about a how there was a apocles on earth and how the world change. First there wasn't any food left because the sun doesn't give the earth enough sun light to grow anything plus the all animals died. So, people ate people in other words cannibalism. But they did that survive. The main characters in the story is about a father and a son trying to make it through the harsh life. This movie makes you apperciate everything you have. And it makes you look at the world with fesh eyes. There are people with similar situation such as not having any water or dirty water which they can't drink. Also, people not having enough food and dieing from it. This movie makes you feel like the luckiest alive.
Meeting
In today morning meeting we talked about the fiber glass and how it is still running. We also dicussed fieldtrips ad who's going. Next we spoke about open house this friday and how they need any help avaible. So, I'll be helping this friday. Then we talked that the $10 are due this friday. The $10 will get you a robotic t-shirt. Also about this magazine that provides useful and interesting information that we should subscribe to. In the magazine there was a article about a man who made a open transmitter and needs $10, 000 to send it to space. So, hopefully I will subscribe to this maganize.

part 1
Yesterday I didn't go to robotics because I was sick. When I was the car I couldn't breath, I felt like I didn't have any air. Then I threw up and got a horrible stomach ache. My mother didn't allow me to go school. But today I'm feeling much better.

Meeting and Refree
Today in the morning we had a meeting. We dicussed who will go and mentor there middle school for lego robotics. Then we talked about the people who are going to take the radio test ( which I am and Sandra). Next we dicussed the toy drive and how we should bring in toys for the kids in the hospital. The childern in the hositpal will get these toys on Christmas so they get presents. After that we spoke about how the fish tank experiment went. Our conclusion was that the degree went up one degree. And we don't know if that was good or bad but I hope that is good. Then I and Mia volunteered to be lego referee. We are not allowed to go to the bathroom! No water for me on that day.
Busy
I couldn't make it to robotics yesterday. I had to go to band in the morning for the pep rally. Then at lunch I signed up to go to a latina art muesum. And I couldn't go after school because I had to go to blue planet. I'm so disappoint that I couldn't make it. Hopefully that will happen again.

1st Blog
Today after school I'm taking a pre-test for the hand radio. Then hopefully I'll be ready for the actual test and pass it. This way I can have a license to operate a hand radio. Also, I plan to work on the legos.
