A summer without FIRST

Well, since I'm in transition between two teams I'm really not doing much FIRST related.
So instead I'll spend the summer doing what i love best. Sitting on the beach at my lakehouse...
When I'm not putting in a 40+ hour week doing CAD at an local engineering firm.

5AM-1PM - CAD (i make my own hours, i like the beach)
1:30PM-Dark - Sit on beach
Dark-3AM - Party at a nearby resort

Notice the lack of sleeping time?
I'll also find some time in there to work on and ride my motorcycle...plus say goodbye to all my friends before college...

ohh yeah, and move to college... that should be interesting...

Summer isn't a vacation for me this year... maybe less beach bumming...

Toot my own horn

Well,

I'll toot my own horn. For me time being I work @ our beloved Autodesk. Just a few minutes walk down the street from DEKA Research. Sometimes I will walk up and eat at the DEKA Cafe and notice Dean's Hummer in the parking lot or Helicopter on the roof. Also a few minutes walk up the a street is FIRST Place...home of FIRST. It's a hard life...but someone's gotta.

-Justin

hahaha! i bag groceries! wooohoo!

the previous 3summers were filled w/ an engineering job-- but who needs that when you can work 40hours a week at a grocery store.


Well.. at least it's easy, and i get one day a week off (very usual for me) and they love me so I can ask for whatever FIRST competition days off that I need.

So I'll be working.. running driver practices for the T190 kiddies.. coaching T190 through some summer comps... playing vball w/ the FIRST folks from T190, T126, and even T157 with some guest appearances from other friends on 'close-by' teams...

Anyone ever wants to join us for a game-- lemme know! volleyball rocks!

woohoo

It's not glorious....but at least I get all my FIRST pictures developed at a discount -- yeah, I work in the One-Hour photo lab of the good old Braintree Big Kmart. *pauses for the laughter to subside* Doesn't pay much, and people (management and customers) treat you like dirt...but then, I've worked at worse places before. But something has to pay for the bills at RIT next year....

As for FIRST stuff, thanks to Lee and TJē I got to go to Mayhem on the Merrimack. I also have my Greyhound tickets in hand for BattleCry in 2 short weeks. Along with that, it's a push on the RCU and FIRST-a-holics websites along with some side projects Lee and I are in the works of.

Yes, I am giving you a hard time...but what else is new

It was the opening ceremonies where they announced all the scholarships...maybe I heard better since I was on Einstein...::remembers how she & her media tent partner were scared half to death when the fireworks were let off the first time since we werent expecting them::

Elgin, you know my main priority with these things is to get people there so they can root for the team...and thus we need people like you to drive...so you can root for the team

Summer Stuff

This summer I'll be volunteering at FIRST Place yet agian, unpaid, blah! I need to work and get paid to save for college, so I don't know how many weeks of camp I'll work at.... This is my 3rd year working there, its pretty fun, besides the whole money issue.... Also after camp everyday I'll be putting in my time working at Shaw's Supermarket... fun fun fun!
My team is trying to do soem fundraisers over the summer, and trying to find sponsorship for next year. Also we will be running a summer competition/demo for my town on the 4th of July, we still need teams to come help us out, if you need places to stay there is a couple hotels in town or my mom said she could put a bunch of people up for the night if need be. Anyone who comes will be invited to ride on our float along with their robots in the parade. During the day we will either run a competition, or if there is not enough teams we'll just run demo matches for my town. Adn just think, they'll be pretty fireworks after the day is done, FIRST? Fireworks? having fun? what could be better!
