During high school, I took Honors Physics (for heaven knows what reason) and had to complete a bridge project to prove I understood stress and pressure. I hated the project except for 3 things: I could talk to my grandfather more, the craft store had a spiral red staircase to get to the balsa wood, and I took "progress photos" with one of my stuffed panda, Crew. My several snapshots made me so happy and helped me to look forward to each step of the bridge.
Part of going to Japan would be homesickness, and I wanted to bring something special with me. I had this idea driving home from Witt: why not bring Crew along? He could pose, be cute, and get some world experience! Karaoke, moving into the dorm, a 13 hr flight, taking classes, taiko training even? It will be a blast, and something silly for people to follow up on. My mother had a good name for it: Alex and her Crew.
Hopefully my Japanese friends will help me out and get excited about chilling with Crew and I'll have lots of fun pictures to share with you all!
Here are some flashbacks to my first project with Crew...
(On the right) Crew helped me build a bridge for Honors Physics class. Here he is surveying the plans before construction. Safety is key (please note the glasses) and no stuffed animals were harmed in the making of this bridge.
(On the left) Crew is now done with the construction of the bridge. Special care was taken in the transport stage; heavy-duty wrapping insured the protection of the structure. Loading up the project was a big job, but Crew deftly and safely packed the bridge away.
I like this idea. I had actually planned on bringing a stuffed animal, or two, of my own for the same reason. I want to take pics of them running around Japan, or something. ^_^
