Today, Mr. Ngai wasn't here so we either worked on finishing our linoleum carving, or just relaxed. Since I had fininshed carving my stamp last week, I jsut sat around reading a book on my phone. During 5th period, the class worked on the Wednesday Challenge. However, since I wasn't participating in this week's Wednesday Challenge, I started working on my longboard. I brought the template that I had printed out at home, and taped it toether. I ended up with a piece of paper that was 6 pages wide.
Today, Mr. Ngai wasn't here again, so once again, I was just sitting around reading a book on my phone. During 5th period, I wanted to start making the cardboard blank for the prototype of my longboard, but since the cardboard sheets weren't here yet, I couldn't work on anything, and so I was essentially playting around in 5th period as well, Keilah had brought his laptop, and let me play on it during 5th period.
Today, Mr. Ngai was back, and he told us that the reason that he had been gone for the past few days was that he had been bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake that had gotten into his shoes. During 5th period, the class worked to finish their Wednesday Challenge. Today was the last day that the classs had to finish making the box for the Wednesday Challenge, and for the most part, everyone finished on time.
Today was the Gatsby party, and I got a feather and a free box of Oreos. Keilah, Connor and I went to Walgreens to go and buy some milk, and while we were there, since I was wearing a suit, we played a bit of a prank on the cashier by having me stand near the entrance with my phone and stylus in hand, stare at the cashier, and write down random gibberish every once in a while. During 5th period, Dr. Neato let me dumpster dive for cardboard boxes to get started on making a cardboard blank for my prototype longboard in the shop. Since Erin and Keilah were in the shop with me because they were working on judging the Wednesday Challenge boxes, they helped me pull cardboard out of the dumpsters. I found a really big box that was from some shelving in the cafeteria, and it was basically all I needed in addition to the box that was already here from robotics season. I got all of the pieces but one cut out, and hope to have it glued by tommorow. In addition, I learned that Connor was completely immune to getting tickled with a feather. I was messing with him, Keilah, Hunter, and Erin by tickling them with the feather whioe they were working on their laptops, and while Erin and Hunter were really ticklish and Keilah was only mildly ticklish, Connor basically gave no reaction other than grabbing at the feather evey once in a while.
Today was a minimum day. During 3rd period, since I was done with the linoleum stamp carving project, I just played Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad for the entire period. During 5th period, we watched a livestream of the FRC regionals at Ventura for the entire period, and as a result, I didn't get to work on my cardboard longboard template. Erin wore a dinosaur pajama thing today becasue she lost a bet with her brother, and it was really fluffy, and I grabbed her tail.
