As Fragile as an Egg

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. It just depends on how we construct the situation at hand and whether or not we let it crack us open and allow it to splatter us on the sidewalk. We need to learn how to protect ourselves as if we're fragile eggs, vulnerable and capable of cracking if not taken care of.

Another class demonstrated just that on this beautiful day up on the fire escape. Maybe it's not the take-away lesson they planned for, but it's what I personally got from it.

Here is my collection of "eggscellent" pictures taken from my trusty flip phone (not many people can say that nowadays).

Pictured here are students and professor setting up for the battle of eggs.

Of course, posed pictures are mandatory for documentation of the event.

First up the fire escape to test her egg protecting structure was Ashes.

Her egg splattered, so here a student helps the professor replace the splattered paper. It's okay. Not every structure is perfect. In fact, perfect doesn't even exist.

Nathan Shay's egg structure was by far the most creative with an umbrella-like top that successfully glided a bit more gracefully on the way down.
