*twirls in a circle*

You might wonder why I'm so happy, but that's besides the point. The thing is, my robotics team made the world festival in April, which is next month, and we get to go to Atlanta. And then afterwards is this HUGE party that you get to go to, where you get all the free ice cream, soda, food, anything you want! It's so much fun, and I can't wait! And then, the weekend after we get back(I'll be missing 4 days of school for this) a few friends are coming over and we're gonna watch ALL the Lord of the Rings(extended) in a row, so it's 15 1/2 hours of AWESOMENESS!!! So I'm really happy.
The rant for this post is gonna be on science and technology, seeing as how I told you about my robotics competition.
Why is it, that men dominate the scientific field? It doesn't make any sense. I mean, my robotics team is an all girls team from all over Westchester. Those girls are like my sisters and seeing as how we made the international festival for WINNING the competition with two other teams, we're really excited. In the FIRST Tech Challenge(the one that I do) there are 5000 some odd teams, only 100 of which are all girls teams. And an even smaller percentage of those teams MAKE the world festival, because guys dominate it. Yeah, some of the guys are your 'stereotypical' nerd, with the big glasses, scrawny, and what not, but some of them are well0rounded, who play sports, who do well in school, and those are the guys whose teams do well.
But the fact that an all-girls team is scary? That's just insane. I mean, yeah we all get kind of upset about stuff that goes on in competitions, but so does every other team in FTC. So, why does an all-guys team feel the need to break our robot, which is what a team did yesterday. The referees said it wasn't intentional, which makes NO SENSE since the guys LAUGHED at us afterwards when we couldn't move.
But I mean, it's comeuppance, but they didn't make worlds, so I don't care.
