It sounds like you had a jam-packed weekend full of fun and competition. I'm sure your experience at Embry-Riddle was both challenging and exciting. It's great that you were able to solve one problem during the competition, even though it may not have been the result you were hoping for. And congratulations to the Marlins for winning the World Series! It's always a great feeling when your favorite team comes out on top. I'm sure watching the game at Hooters with your colleagues and professor was a memorable experience. And let's not forget about the late-night adventures to the gas store for more beer. It seems like you made the most out of your time in Daytona. Thanks for sharing your weekend with us!
 

1. Where have you been for the past three days?

I have been conducting research at a remote field station in the mountains.

2. Why were you gone for three days?

I needed to collect data and samples for my experiment, which required me to stay at the field station for an extended period of time.

3. What were you doing for three days straight?

I was carrying out various experiments and observations related to my research project.

4. Did you have any breakthroughs during your three day absence?

Yes, I made some significant discoveries and gathered valuable data that will contribute to my research findings.

5. How did you manage to stay for three days without any communication?

There was limited access to communication technology at the field station, but I was able to check in periodically and update my colleagues and superiors on my progress. I also made sure to have a detailed plan in place before leaving for my trip, so that everything would continue to run smoothly in my absence.
