2 weeks at a time?

Post by TopGun »

I was wondering if it is fun to go to space academy for 2 weeks in a row. What do you do between sessions?

I know someone who did a week and a half, oddly enough. It was at a time when they were changing session start dates from Wednesdays (I think) to Sundays. He didn't get the memo that the dates changed and arrived mid-session. Long story short, they let him stay on for another week. The day between sessions he hung out with the late departure - early arrival crew, visiting the museum, watching films, that sort of stuff.

Staying for two weeks would be a unique experience! You would repeat the programming, yet with different team mates and counsellors. Should be interesting, and fun too! If you do it you'll have to let us know how it was.

I remember a kid whose parents put him in Space Academy Level 1 for a whole month! And you didn't have to be around this kid very long to figure out why his parents wanted to be rid of him for so long! He was a little smart-a$$! This kid thought he knew everything and acted like he was better than everyone because he had done everything at camp the week(s) before. I was so glad he ended up on another team and not mine, because that's the type of trainee who can ruin the cohesiveness and camaraderie of a team!
