It’s probably come time that we should count down the hours, not the days. Therefore, let me revise: 168 hours to go. That’s only 40 hours more than how long James Franco was trapped between a rock and a hard place. Which is the situation it seems that we often find ourselves in, but as the deadline draws near, SunStang is pushing through the hundreds of obstacles that keep coming our way. Each of us can officially say we work better under pressure. Resumés will be edited accordingly during the trip down to Texas.

On July 11^th, a few members of the team will depart from London, Ontario, and head to the border with our pride and glory towed behind us. There will be fanfare and musicians and fireworks and speeches. In my head.

Nonetheless, this homestretch will be the most important time of our university lives. The past 2 years have been leading up to how we handle ourselves now as we prepare our baby for Texas. This is the time that makes it or breaks it. And by the power of Ra, we’re going to make it.

Friday, July 11^th – Leave from London, Ontario
Monday, July 14^th – Scrutineering Day 1
Tuesday, July 15^th – Scrutineering Day 2

I’m sorry if I’ve been awfully silent. It’s been busy here. Do you want me to build a solar car or not?!
