Legend of the one eye'd IPT

My students have been in contact with the company that manufactures my IPT (Integrated Power Train) and the company says that they have found the problem, however, we don't know when I will be reunited with my dear IPT. It's as if I'm missing one eye.

More about this marketing stuff

So my outreach coordinator came by to talk to me today. She told me that after November 15, I would be ready for puclic viewing. I'm going to be filmed, photographed and written about. It's like being the subject of the gossip column. She told me that I would meet more little kids, some important decision makers, and non-english speaking people. I better pull out my Spanish phrase book and start learning.

I was also put at ease when I found out that I'm not going to be sold. This marketing plan that everyone is scrambling about is going to be posted to our website on Friday, and breaks down how I'm going to be publicized, and how my students are going to educate others about my buddies and me, and what we do. I'm glad the outreach team finished the marketing plan, it looks really good, and really shows off all of the hardwork my students have done to make me a supercool car.

Midterms

Well, it's midterm exam time, and I can feel it. I don't have any wheels on me, my battery is gone and my IPT is missing. It's like they took out half of my brain. Some students are working on repackaging the battery so that there is more room. They hope to sink the battery between my two back wheels like it was originally designed to do before I got a new one. The IPT is being sent for inspection because it has been giving me some trouble lately. Hopefully when it comes back, I'll run like I did before I was a hybrid.
