Fixin' to Catch a Flyer

The NSSBC is upon us again. As the eve of the greatest collegiate engineering event approaches, we find ourselves looking back to when this year's project all began...last summer. Has it really been 10 months? All those chalk talks and analysis sessions, recruitment and fundraising, putting a Team together, and staying on schedule through fabrication and regional competition. It's a mind bender how time flys when you're having fun solving a problem. So as we travel to Florida Thursday morning we're reminded of all the hard work it took to get us here. We're reminded of all the dedicated members who've taken care of their tasks without complaint. We're reminded that win or lose, it must be remembered that the journey is the thing...not the outcome, but what we learned to get there.

And so to all you out there biting your fingernails wondering how you'll do, just relax, talk to other Teams, learn something new, and enjoy yourselves at the Swamp.

Here's to being an engineer! And if you're not one, here's to whatever you do!
