Well, Spring Break came, and Spring Break went, and unfortunatly it didn't take very much homework with. Had alot of fun though, spend some time here, slept alot, and then I went to Dallas with Schmorgan and Ludwhig. We visited the Forbidden City Exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art, which was pretty cool. We saw the Phantom of the Opera whil we were there, which was alot better than I thought. It was the first musical that I have seen, and I never thought that I would ever enjoy one. But I did.
We drove back to LeTourneau on Friday or so, and I spent a decent portion of the weekend working on the Dynamics project. We had the internal competition this afternoon, and surprisingly enough we took first with 86 lbs. It wasn't as strong a showing as we had hoped to make, but it worked. Josh figures that if everything goes flawlessly we can move about 98 lbs, but I am not sure that we will be able to get the system down that well. Who knows. We had a fair bit of trouble with the drive motors, they tended to fail pretty quickly, and even thought we have different motors installed now, it is kinda hard to trust them. I'm always afraid that they will fail in practice and leave us high and dry at regionals. On the other hand, the more that our driver gets to practice, the better that we will do. And we need to do better. Maybe if we get all our practices in this week we will have time to replace the motors if they fail. Anyhow.
In other news, my Dad is planing to pull the shower apart back home... he hopes to have it back together in one day, but knowing how things tend to go, I really hope that it will go back togather period. The valves are leaking, and need to be replaced, but there in a 40 year old tile wall. Not a job that I would relish.
Well, it is time for the Pebble to get off to bed. Night.

Well, it has thus far been a pretty good week.... by which I mean not a busy week. I have a design problem and a Religions test on friday, as well as a Dynamics team presentation. Lots of fun.... not as bad as I was anticipating. We've got our last basketball game tonight, against Club. Should prove to be an interesting game. I don't figure that I will get to play much, as we need a win to get a lock on playoffs, but it will be a fun game to watch anyway. G2 has thier last game tonight to, think that it is at 8:30 or so. I think that they are slated play G1, who have thus far forfeited all their games. Hopefully G1 will materialize.
Aduma, Kirby and Morris got back from from thier escapade. Kirby said that they had some pretty bad weather on the way out, just beat out a snowstorm. He seems to have enjoyed the experience greatly.
