Re: 2010 National Tournament: University of Illinois
hmm...is the food there good? (sry, but im quite concerned about food...im been to colleges where it was just plain...bleh. )
-shrug- as long as its far away from home, i get to meet science geeks , and all goes well, im fine. i mean...one hr. difference isnt that much...and the plane ride shouldnt be that long. as long as its not terribly hot/cold, im good.

Can't wait till 2012, that year Nats is in Orlando . If I go it will be pretty awesome, the team will have to go on sunday and spend the week there enjoying the attractions.

Ehh, Illinois is awesome but Northwestern University is an awesomer place then U of I.
Unfortunately, it's probably too small for a national tournament.

Re: 2010 National Tournament: University of Illinois
You can't complain of jetlag, since you're probably flying out of Pittsburgh. We would probably drive if we made it, and were 6 hours further away.Helix_Nebula_Freak wrote:I think it's a better place for the NSO... I mean, it's hard to concentrate on your events when you're sweating your brains out in the humid Georgian air... Just kidding
I dont really care where NSO is. It's the fact that a bunch of geeky and/or nerdy Science Olympians like me can gather for something like this that really touches me...
The only thing about Illinois for me personally is jetlag. I'm not complaining, because Ik how hard it must have been for all you west coast natives, not to mention Hawaii and Alaska, to come to Georgia. Just a minor inconvienice...

Re: 2010 National Tournament: University of Illinois
the wright stuff people are going to have so much fun, the U of I armory is AWESOME (200 ft wide x 400 ft long x100 ft high or something like that)
the campus itself is okay, slightly confusing (like most ). i'd better make it to nats next year, 'cause i'm in illinois

Re: 2010 National Tournament: University of Illinois
Haha, 1 or 2 hours really doesn't do anything I hope. The only people with the real jet lag problem (though I don't quite believe in its principles) are Hawaiians and maybe Alaskans for the Eastern national comps like this year.gyourkoshaven wrote:You can't complain of jetlag, since you're probably flying out of Pittsburgh.

Re: 2010 National Tournament: University of Illinois
Yeah, I really don't get jetlag unless I'm leaving the continent. How close is it to Chicago? I'd definitely want to spend some time there if we make it.

I would assume not too close...but I really don't have a clue now that I think about it. Would you be taking a bus or plane?gyourkoshaven wrote:Yeah, I really don't get jetlag unless I'm leaving the continent. How close is it to Chicago? I'd definitely want to spend some time there if we make it.

Re: 2010 National Tournament: University of Illinois
It's about 2 and a half hours away from Chicago, and 2 hours away from Indianapolis. I'm not worried about how my team would get to nats. We just need to make it (somehow).
