Re: What are everyones summer plans?
 

Heres what my look like

6/21- School Offically Ends
6-21:2:29 pm-Party week begins
6/27- Report to Rutgers Department of Ceramics and Materials to find out what I'll be researching for the summer in Nanotech.
7/1-7/10- My family leaves me while they vacation in Lake Champlain
7/2- Live 8! in Philly hopefully me and a bunch of friends will go.
Mid August-Research Presentation and Job finishes

Still Trying to figure out what I do after that, probably relax and make my parents take me somewhere cool since I didn't go to Lake Champlain. And our new High School Opens Up 2nd Week in September, what fun the place is like a Mall.

Oh and at Nights while i'm working at Rutgers i'll be working on some stuff for the robot like a CVT and a Battery Management System and a very lightweight and functional cart.


Looks like fun!

Re: What are everyones summer plans?
 

I'm pretty much planning on working on my cars over the summer. Maybe some day trips but no big ones, saving my money for the cars.

After replacing the inner fender sheet metal, rewiring most of the engine compartment, and replacing (upgrading) the transmission lines with stainless steel, and rebuilding the heater box, I put the Mustang back together so I can drive it over the summer. I'm looking now to replace the damaged and worn grill pieces so I'm keeping an eye on Ebay. I did buy repro grill pieces but none of them fit well even after attempting to tweak them so N.O.S. or used are the only way to go.

My spare car, an '87 Caprice Classic wagon, also needs attention. Poor things going downhill since it sits outside now and isn't driven regularly. It sat most of the winter and now the exhaust is roached out in the front near the exhaust manifold of all places. It sounds like I have open headers now! :D The car also needs shocks and repairs where it's starting to rust out. Looks like another job for the MIG welder. :) Of course I still want to replace the tired motor (170,000 miles) but that will have to wait a little longer, maybe next year.

Re: What are everyones summer plans?
 

As far as robotics goes, I know that we're going to have the Ypsilanti Heritage festival to do and we have to set up for that. And we have Ford Field fundraising, and building a mini bot for the heritage festival. WoOt recruting rookies. But personally, I'm going to go up to the UP with my friend and stuff. A lot of sitting is in order... lol.

Re: What are everyones summer plans?
 

Well, this summer is very scary for me... I've decided to quit my job and go back to school in the fall, and so I'll be spending my summer getting ready for it. On July 5th, I have to go meet with a guidance counselor to figure out which of my credits will transfer. On July 12th, I have to register for classes. And after I register for classes, I have to decide whether or not I'm putting in my 2 week notice before I go to IRI or after. I want to be out of my job by August 8th so that I can maybe go to Connecticut for a week or so before school starts.

In between all of this, I'll be driving Eric crazy with questions like "Am I making a mistake?" "Should I wait another year?" and "What if I find out I'm really dumb?" because I'm really nervous about making a choice like this. So to try to take my mind off of it, I've started going through all of the non-robotics photos I've taken to create some photo galleries. I created my first one tonight, it's called Living Things

So yeah, my summer plans are to fret and worry and to follow my dreams (and hope they take me somewhere good!)
