omg i need a job. i havent had any money since i stopped working for the science center lol help me please

 

first robotics competition

YES

march 19th was a very exciting day for me, and my team 3858 (metal storm). we made it to the regionals, and while there we faced many challenges. most of those challenges were to make sure our bot passed inspections. 1st off we never thought our bumpers would become such a huge problem to deal with. considering we had to be able to take them off and switch them. so we came up with a solution... we made velcro covers for our bumpers for quick switching. now lets get to one of the main weaknessess that became a strength to our team.... our robot did not have an arm. and with out an arm our team could not score points. so our robot had to become the DEFENSIVE robot. so it became my job to become our team's main strategist and always was behind our driver giving the best support anyone could ask for. while although our bot did not have an arm, we did pick up extra speed due to the obvious absense of an arm. Thus making us the faster robot, which played into our strategy of defense.

through many matches our robot had many problems including, we had to constantly tighten the gears around the wheels or the wheels would fall off, our matches took alot out of our battery, bigger heavier robots constantly crashed into our robot causing damage, but we were always on our toes... you had to be if you wanted to stay in the competition. Lets not leave out the rival teams, without their support we would have never made it to the field when we needed parts and other things.

work today

YES
today was another normal day at work at the science center. we worked on projects.again. yawn.

today at work

YES
today at work was like any other day at work except the fact that there were no kids to watch so you would think we would be having a break about now. but no we dont take any breaks even when there is nothing to do we have some thing to do. today we worked on our projects thats what we did which was very hard. the people here where very active. i would say another great day working with the science center. i wish i could work here forever but my days as a yes teen are coming towards an end. but when im done i hope that i am recommended as an supervisor for when im done. that would be cool.

today at work 2/27/10

YES
well today was a usual day like all other days which are full of work and activities. the activities all have something to do with learning something and discussing it afterwards today we observed some butterflies and seen that the two groups of buterflies had different results. one had a group under a heat lamp the other did not. the results were that the ones under the heat lamp emerged out of their crysalis before the others and my hypothesis on why is too long to include on my blog within my time frame. i fed my axolotl changed his water and fed him. he is doing alright but he looks bored because all he has in his tank are a little bridge thing and about 5 inches of water so i was sugesting we build it something more entertaining for it to do in its spare time of just doing nothing and lying around.

c3

YES
sorry i could not make it last week end but since i was not there i decided to do my blogging here and now starting with c3 is an amazing component we study climate change and how certain things affect well the climate around us. we do field studies research and develope a understanding about our surroundings. which would include living creatures and plant life and population. we will hopefully be studying the effects of global warming and the future of energy efficiency with "going green" and saving resources like the trees maybe a little oil and start using less expensive things like gas which is bad 4 the environment and us because the exaust is killing the ozone which is making it hot up in here 4real. questions i would have is how can you fix the ozone i am looking for someone who can answer this question 4 me and tell me about it in detail.
