ACE

I applied for the ace program. I wrote the essay, it come to be about two pages long. The essay took me a long time to write. But I think it came out really good. I had my english teacher proof read it and they said it was great. So, hopefully I get accepted. When I first wrote it, I forgot to blog about it when I turned in the essay. And might as well write about it late than not write about it. Also, I was excited in my english class when I got a 50/50 on my writing paper. I was so worried because I thought I didn't write it well on it but it came out alright. Then yesterday after school I had to go finish my computer project. When I finished it, I went to robotics. I helped out with writing the map. I just put in three rooms in the map and the program we used was so frusting. It made itself more complicated than it had to be. After that I had to go to band practice.

Electrical

Over the last few weeks, I became a electrical in training. Bianca, Isabel, and Stapheny have been teaching people about electrical. Last time we were making a AUV. It took a lot of trouble. Such as, the wires were getting cut of the cord when being stripped. Also, the silver wire thing that was all around the edges took a while to take off and some people had cut the wires when taking off the silver wire thing. Next when we had finally all the silver wire thing off and the wires were all stripped without being cut off; they slaughtered them together. But the problem was that the wires were really tiny and were hard to slaughter with accuracy. Then we also had to add the heat shrink but the heat shrinks shrunk before they were suppose to. because they were narrow. By the time the they slaughtered the heat shrinks had already shrunk. So, we had to start all over. Next Ledge came in and told us the silver wire thing wasn't suppose to be taken off. After that we had to cut the part of the wires that slaughtered off but we were going to that anyways because of the heat shrinks. When we cut them off we started to put things away since it was already 6:30. 

STEP

Finished writing my STEP essay yesterday. It took forever but I finished it. Then I had to finish my altar project. I almost finished the computer part, I just need to make my animation into a movie. I have everything else though, my audio and animation is completed. Then we had to make a little box altar or a poster. I chose the box. That itself took forever to complete as well. Didn't get much sleep today, hopefully I will never put anything off that long. But at least it finished.

Computer School

Yesterday, on Thursday I went to school for my computer class. If you went on your day off you could three hours of non-stop computer design. I need to record and animate my film. My brother was suppose to drop me off at school but in the morning he decided not to. So, I took the bus and got there a hour late. Then I only had two hours to work. I wanted to record but the line was really huge. I had to wait and was the last one to record but she had to go. All I did was animate but your animation needs to go with your recording but I didn't record. So, I really didn't get much done.

Last Week

Monday = Started doing the auto bots. Isabel showed me a lot about electrician. Mostly we were drilling the equipment on the board. Next we waited for them to mount the board onto the robot to do more things to it. Then we put the USB in and put some wire in.

Tuesday = Isabel and Stephany were salturing wires. I saltured a bit, so did Rebeca.

Wednesday= We were building Andersans. We were missing some of the parts, so we had to look for a piece in a wire box. It took forever to find the right piece.

Thursday= Wasn't really do much because they were going on a field trip. Mostly just packing everything and making sure they had everything. There were going to a science fair at a high school. I would have liked to go but I had band practice.

Friday= Didn't go to school because I was sick. Had a high fever and my mom didn't let me go to school. But I convinced her to let me go to the football game for band. So, I went to the football game and felt awful during the game. Went home like at 10:40.

This Saturday the band had a competition. It was at Agua Fria High School. I think there was about 20 high schools there. We had worked really hard. And we got a score of a excellent which is like a B. So, now we are going to state competition. Everyone was excited. Our competetion is in a week.
