Lily Valley Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hey Nerds! I tried to find the "Awesome to the Max" thread, but got frustrated. So I started this one for positive news. Today it's all about ME! My students just won a prestigious state wide competition. They are going to take their experimental apparatus to Illinois to observe the Solar Eclipse in August. For those unfamiliar, I work at a Community College who serves some of the brightest, poorest and most over-worked, high-rent paying non-traditional students in the State. My students blew away most of the 4 year Universities with their work ethic and professionalism. They blew away ALL of the private institutions. I couldn't be prouder if they were my kids! Go New Orleans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datepalm Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hell yeah! In other fun-news of the day, Italy is giving away 103 historical buildings to the public in the interests of renovation. So whoever's been planning that commune, now's the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
