Re: What are your priorities?

hmmm this is interesting...

for the summer:
  1. Work --i've got an internship at NASA at the age of 16, the last thing i want to do is screw that up
  2. Family/Friends -- they're both pretty equal, but family does come a little before friends
  3. Robotics!! --yes, i've already been working on stuff for 2006 robotics! but seeing as robotics is under work.. i cant attend IRI. owell, tis a small price to pay for getting paid and having something awesome on your resume.
  4. Health [to an extent] --ok, when i say health, we all know i really mean playing DDR at least once or twice a week. i dont really worry about my health that much, just as long as i eat right (for the most part... a snickers bar or a bag of skittles here and there never hurt anyone) and enjoy my life in general.
  5. Getting my drivers lisence --so i can get a car.

during the school year though, priorities change... for the most part they run like this, but during build season and competition season, things sometimes run a little differently.
  1. School --learning takes priority, since i cant really do much in life without knowing what i'm doing, and then good grades come second. i'm not so worried about my grades, but rather that i'm learning. if you learn, then good grades just come naturally
  2. Robotics --nuff said. i cant do much in robotics without knowing what i'm doing.. hence #1.
  3. Family/Friends --like before, family is a little above friends
  4. Homework haha if only it was this far down and not linked with #1... actually, this one is Health --and it means SLEEP, because i usually dont have enough time to do much else other than the above listed

and just in general for life: school, work, family, robotics. yes robotics is at the end of the list, but thats because i can always come back after i'm old and have had a full and incredible life, and i can volunteer and help dave out with the new Game whatnot. ^.^ sure robotics is awesome, but you cant really lose your head while being involved in it. trust me, i'm addicted to FIRST, but i'm not going to jeopardize my future due to blind attachment to the wonderful program. just be careful not to overdo it.
