I am looking forward for the trip. There are going to be four of us &#8211; me, Mirai, Jeremy and Ivan. Anastasia might come too. Basically, we are going to test all the solar modules and make sure that they are working properly.<\/p>\n<p>After more than six months being with the team, I am starting to really enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I am responsible for the solar car solar module, one of the most important aspects of the car. I am glad to say that my knowledge in solar power as increase not merely in theory but also in practical sense.<\/p>\n<p>The Solar Car Team means a lot to me and becoming more personal. Instead of just a project to win the ACS and WSC, I am constantly making new friends outside of my division. There are lots of friends over there that I do feel comfortable chatting with. (Of course, this does not include Mirai calling me in the middle of the night asking me to come to the work session. On that, I could only thank God for not having a hand phone. If I had a mobile phone, I will find myself doing Solar Car 24\/7.) I do believe however the interest in Solar Car is making it difficult to me to run a student life. It seems that I am a real engineer instead of just a student.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, being in the Solar Car reaffirms my belief in green power. Knowing how a vehicle can run almost forever just with the power of the Sun is electrifying. Plus, without harmful emission.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the thing that I appreciate most by being with the Team is the fact that I&#8217;m actually doing something for the Green movement instead of just talking.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, the best thing is still the fact that I am going to Ohio for free.<\/p>\n<p>Woohoo! I am going to Ohio this weekend. Go Solar Team!<\/p>\n<p>p\/s &#8211; By the way, the field hockey team is going to Michigan State in Lansing for a game against the Spartan. Boy, if only I had regularly attended the practice, I might had been included in the team. The last I played hockey with them was before the snow falls, some time in November. It was fun and trust me, although only the girls play this game, they are tough. I even had to struggle to keep possession of the ball when I played with them. To strengthen my point, there was even this Australian guy who had to sweat his heart out just to get pass through the girls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guess what?
