LAST BLOG POST EVER!!!!!!




This is my last blog post as a Solar Knights student. I've had many great years here and I'm sad to be leaving. I would like to thank Mr. Martin for everything he has done for me over these four years. I will be extending my engineering knowledge at the University of Central Florida where I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My email is surfersyd19@gmail.com if anyone reading this would like to follow my adventures. 

As far as this week goes, Syd finished all the paperwork and got the cords. She also got SolidWorks certified and couldn't be happier!!!

Back in Action!



Syd is back in school, but not mentally there. She is still trying to recover from the surgery. Since she is only in school for two days this week, she was not really able to work on SolidWorks. However, she did do the paperwork to get Mr.Martin reimbursed. She is still waiting for Mr.Martin to find the PO, so she can grab the cords. Syd is also still unsure if she will be taking the certification test for SolidWorks because she hasn't had much time to practice.

Nine Days Left!



So this week is a weird one because Sydney is getting her wisdom teeth out. And for anyone who is going to make a smart comment, no she will not become stupid. She is unsure if she will be coming to school after the surgery, so she is going to work on as much SolidWorks as possible. She is still waiting for the check for the graduation cords so she can go pick those up.

Flashback Friday Computers



So this is bad. We were kicked out of our amazing tech lab into a gross portable with old windows 98 computers. This left me with nothing I could really do except blog, but my blog is up to date. So all I'm doing is looking at the test for the SolidWorks certification to familiarize myself with it.

12 Days Left!



So Sydney only has 12 days left of school and she couldn't be more excited! This week is only three days long because of the SUPER Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so her plan is to deposit this check and get as much SolidWorks practice in.
