Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Season's Greetings! Happy New Year! I hope you all had a fun and safe holiday season! I was so busy with school this semester that I didn't really have a chance to update the blog. It's crazy to me that it's been almost a year since I started this blog for an English assignment, and realized that I actually liked it! I really appreciate all of you that read it and all the comments and suggestions that you've given me.
At the beginning of each new year, I begin to think about the national and regional events that are coming up, not only in my personal life, but for the rocketry community. This year is full of great events and chances to meet up with each other. The first event is NARCON, which is the last weekend of February in Washington D.C. At NARCON this year will be the presentation of the new NAR Competition Program during one of the sessions on Saturday, February 25th. While a lot of you are enjoying the museum, the dinners, the shop talk, and presentations, I will be in my dorm room studying for midterms. Yay college!
After things start warming up here on the east coast, we head into rocketry season, or "spring" as the non-rocketry community calls it. With the warm weather comes the smell of gunpowder and streaks of fluorescent tracking powder at regionals, picnics, high power launches, and sport lunches. And before you know it, we'll all be headed to Michigan for NARAM 59. Which means that building for NARAM should start now... but there are still 6 months so putting it off a little longer can't hurt, right? The NARAM events for this year look like a lot of fun! It should be another great event out in Michigan. Thanks to the crew out in Muskegon for hosting us all again!
Thank you all again for checking in and giving helpful feedback! I hope you have a great New Year and enjoy NARCON! Until next time, fly high, stay safe, and have fun!
