Not that you guys care... but i thought i would share (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was at the ASCE PSWRC competition in san diego from wednesday to sunday. (American Society of Civil Engineers - Pacific South West Regional Conference)

basically a huge competition between colleges in various civil engineering events.
steel bridge design, concrete canoes, concrete frisbees and bowling ball competition, seismic design, land surveying and a few others.

I was on the surveying party and we kicked some ass, ended up with a second place, as we were the second team to finish with dead nutz accuracy.... (and we did it with non digital equipment)

Over all... our school (Cal Poly Pomona) took first place over UCLA, SLO, USC, UNLV, ASU and 15 other schools in the area.

Was way fun to watch some people sink in their canoes, and some broke in half.

ill post some pics if you guys are interested.

now, to get caught up on school, so i can finish the top end rebuild on my car next weekend. LOL
