I haven't found any time to post for the past week and I probably shouldn't be posting today either but, who needs to do homework anyway? ;) Flashback to last Monday:
Last Friday, a group of SHPE kids and I went over to Lockheed Martin, the science center for engineering. Everything over there was quite interesting but by far the best part was experiencing Virtual Reality from glasses that they made right out of their own 3D printer. With those glasses on, no matter how you moved your head, the scene moved with you. I had previously done a speech based off of VR and this is the first time I had actually seen it. We were not allowed to take any pictures in the center because Lockheed is a government building. That evening Niyati came over so were could finish our dance for Kaanya's party the following day. We choreographed almost 2 of the 3 songs that we would be doing. I'll admit that without practice, the routine was a bit difficult and it took quite a while for us to come up with steps and then do it enough times so that we at least have a vague outline of it. We did not go to bed until about 2 that day, and we were both supposed to wake up at about 6 the next morning to see a debate tournament. Quite frankly, I was exhausted. The only thing that got me through that day was the cupcakes Niyati got from Sweet, the pasta shells my mom made for dinner and the pear dessert she baked for later, when we were looking for anything that would help get a bit of sugar through our bodies. Saturday morning were up and out of the door before 7 in the morning. I was just going to observe, while Niyati was going to help out (it was at her school). Suba was also observing with me, and we were able to see some incredibly talented people. I could only watch two evens, the Lincoln Douglas and Dramatic Interpretation. Both were very good, but the DI was done by people so powerful that they almost made the two of us cry. Yes, cry. There were 6 people who went, and our eyes were blurred with tears at some point throughout almost each one. Unbelievable. Went back to Niyati's house to practice the dance a few more times before we started to get ready for the party. Reaching the event site, we were blown away. Everything looked so beautiful and was set up so neatly. There was a small group that the two of us knew, but we didn't have much time to socialize because we had to change once again, this time for the dance.
So..we did finish it..but in all honesty it didn't go as well as we hoped...but that's too bad right? I hope so... :/ I've always felt the dancing towards the end of a party is the most fun part, and we gave it our all that night! Celebrating a great night, and hopefully many more to come! Happy Birthday Kaanya!
