My sister went there for about a week a few years back and loved it. I want to go up there some time. Bar Harbor is great too.

This summer i think i spent the best 2 months of my life in krefeld, germany studying the german language, grammar, culture, phonetics, literature, and conversation. I lived with a host family in Toenisvorst, and they were the coolest people. Aside from school on the weekdays, i went to Cologne, Munich, Dusseldorf, Aachen, Kempen, Bonn, Heidelberg, Trier, Cochem, Fuessen (think Neuschwanstein), Koblenz, and a lot of cute small towns. I think the only bad part of the whole ordeal was that i didn't go to IRI, but since i was in Bavaria that weekend, i didn't mind too much. yeaah.... that and missing dance camp, but people that have more energy than me at a FIRST competition just scare me.

I have spent this summer working 48 hours a week as an EMT in the inner city. I love my job and its great getting to help ppl all shift long. The only thing I did not like about my job was my work schedule caused me to miss IRI At least i am not working the weekend of Cal Games.

I've worked 8-9 hours a day at one of our sponsor's shops. They aren't a true machine shop in that mostly I've been assembling parts into heaters (the frames are made by someone else, shipped in. I put the heating element in, insulate it, wire it with any switches, pots, and relays it uses, assemble the rest of the frame, label it, box it, put it at the dock.)

Its more responsibility than it sounds, tho, because the person who was there before me quit about a week after I got in, and instead of finding another permanent they just moved me up (without a raise) and made me my own manager. I now have an underling who I am training to take over after I go back for my last year of HS (actually, I've had two: the first one was a moron and destroyed large amounts of product=FIRED!) but, me and my underling are responsible for about a quarter of the production of the company (industrial side( they build the big custom machines. I wish to be over there): 1/2 of produciton. S&E(where we build standard heaters):1/2 . . . there are a few models, I am in charge of about half of them, and wiring the standalone controls (more interesting than the heaters) for all of them.)



I am making a steady 8/hour, which will leave me with 2-3k in my bank account (newly opened) come start of school year.

Maybe when my '91 Sable craps out (I hope it lasts through college . . but it might die this year) I will have enough $$ to replace it (hmmm, but with what? definatly a full size sedan, maybe an old Grand Marquis . . . if only I could scrape the cash together for a Marauder . . . . . . . . . )

also, maybe this weekend or the next, I am starting my railgun (more involved. I need to build some variable transformers (1 bar of iron and LOTS of wire) and LOTS of homebuild capacitors (I'm think real thin metal with rounded edges (sharp edges will bleed the charge. Thats what a lightning rod does (besides attract lightning) with several layers of cling wrap between them (1/8 inch, maybe) and then rolled like a swiss cake roll. Then put alot of them in series so they can take higher voltages (really high, thats why i said 'several' transformers) and then put those series in parallel so as to increase the capacitance of the circuit (With what I am planning, firing this from wall outlet would pop every breaker in sight).) - - I will also need to build an AC-DC converter, and while I know how to do a simple one, making one able to take higher voltages may be a problem) Only reason I need high voltage is to counter the back emf induced by the projectile as it goes zooming down the coils.

I might finish it in the fall sometime. . . it will be quite the drawn out project. If anyone asks, I will claim its for launching objects into orbit so they can't nail me on having a BFG in my basement. I will probably fund this with summer job money.

I did a few things.

I made a website for a chapter of the National Federation of the Blind. It isn't up yet.

I went on a cruise.

I went on a trip to Washington D.C.

I work in Radio Shack a few days a week.

I broke my wrist and scraped up my whole arm and broozed my shoulder in a "scooter" accident, of all things.

I took a trip to visit my brother at Florida State. He is moving out of his apartment at the end of the summer and moving into a new one.

I watched every movie on all of the HBO channels on Direct TV satellite, plus some MTV, and some History channel when there was nothing else on.

I am rebuilding two of my computers and installing Linux but I am having tones of problems with everything I do with them.

That is pretty much my whole life right now.

It varies by state, but in CA for the entry level EMT-Basic certification it is usually about 150 hours of classroom training and 30-45 hours in the field practicing your skills. Then you take a county EMT exam and if you pass you are certified.

As far as the requirements to work in the inner city, all you need is the EMT certification and some guts.

Don't EMT's have to work wierd hours, like I think full time EMTs work for 24 hours and are off for 48 hours, every three days. I couldn't live with a schedule like that. I can barely handle getting up at six in the morning for school...which will start next week .

you know, as they were all hyper-excited about the concept of FIRST, they liekd robots, they watched IRI, and they liked the idea of a changing game, not to mention they had an opel (automotive company) and a daimler-benz corporation nearby, along with bayer/bayer, a pharmeceutical company (i think) and Haribo all located in or around Krefeld or Toenisvorst or the North Rhine- Westphalia state.... well, we can only hope now... can't we? But i did take one of my medals and tons of pictures to try to explain what robotics was and they watched IRI...which had to be the "wow... this FIRST thing is REALLY cool thing" for them... we'll just hope... Michael- Ende Gymnasium Team? i hope so!!!
