Hey Everyone!
Adriana here, and yes this is my first blog post on the site! Yay!! I'm sure some of you already know but if you don't, I'm the Advisory Council Editor.Oh, and I hope you all don't mind I just got back from New Jersey and I'm kind of eating my dinner (TV dinner).
Well, I'm leaving this blog to just update you all on how the last Global Challenge meeting went at CCSU yesterday, where biotech students come and continue on their projects for Global Challenge, for example, how we are using a bacteria to clean up oil spills.
The meeting was absolutely amazing! Both teams from the AM and PM classes at our school went and we had a blast. And did I mention that we won the competitions for Best Website and Best Advisory Board? oh and Kenny won the ipod nano? Well I just did =] Along with our amazing bus driver George aka Jorge lol.
And I'm pleased to announce that our Advisory Council Liason (I don't know if I spelled that right) and biotech teacher has just been engaged! Very exciting things in the works.
So let me just talk about the great relationships and bonding we all established yesterday, first we all took pictures of each group and just had fun before the meeting started, then we all went off to our group discussions and talked about what we have accomplished since the last meeting, then we all had lunch together and just laughed pretty much the entire time, we all cheered each other and congratulated one another on winning 2 out of the 3 competitions and thanked our Education Connection Advisor Ms. Carolyn Kelly tremendously for an amazing day, then we all just pretty much goofed around in the CCSU gift shop and stocked up on Dr. Pepper (Me and Keli) and junk food for the ride back. Not to mention the great fun we all had on the bus, we all have so much in common, the AM and PM classes, and we all think that we should go to the Expo in May and just cheer each other throughout the entire time since both projects are equally incredible and deserve to have a chance to compete!
Team Green Fusion (AM) and The Venom Project(PM), how can you not have these 2 amazing teams and even more amazing projects be in one room together at all? It would be like not having fireworks on the 4th of July, Obama not promising change to America, the nucleus of a cell not containing DNA! I can just go on and on with these analogies but I won't =]
Team Venom Fusion! The Green Venom Project! ?? Yeah I was actually trying to somehow combine the 2 names but obviously it hasn't really progressed to anything really eye catching, but I'm still working on it!
So thanks to everyone at The Venom Project and everyone who helped get us to CCSU safe and sound and then making our day a rememberable one and the great friends we all made! Come the day we arrive at the Expo I just hope that we all go to have fun and keeping in mind that these 2 projects both deserve to be winners no matter what the outcome will be!
Thanks for reading everyone, wish us and the The Venom Project the best of luck this year!
