Great Job!
So the project is now officially over. Every group did a spectacular job, so congratulations to everybody, and thanks to everyone who came out to the event to share our joy and designs!
Thanks also go out to Jesse and Sarah, who were the most proficient team members I have ever had. You guys are great, and you did a great job.
Now it’s time to wrap up the semester, and run head-first into...
Party over.
Our models were hot. A couple people wanted to buy our stuff!
Also, a few important people took interest (including instructors, proffesionals, and the CATEA staff!). They each got a private presentation, and they were all happily impressed.
Party time!
Now it’s time for the Epic Event!

Done!!! (sorta)
we still need to throw one more coat of paint on some things, screw some stuff here and there. and get some Butterboard on some of our fillets.
Al told, our stuff is like half an hour from being done. So we are going home early tonight. (3:30 AM is early right?)

awesome sesh
we had an awesome brainstorming session with david, mostly about our epic event. it got a little awkard at times. one time being when we learned that when kim laughs really really hard, it sounds like a really slow sob. especially when she got a nosebleed at the same time.
so basically, our station is now the raffle station. we will be displaying the prizes on our shelves. there will be snacks at...
