Just don't let me down
My weekend:
Friday - Auto Show
Saturday - Monster Jam
Sunday - UKC dog show
I'll post pictures another time. I lost my camera cord and my battery died at the auto show so I have to get a $7 disposable camera developed (some lady at a stand tried to sell me a disposable camera for $20!)

I changed my title, okay?
My problem is, stability.
I hate that I've lost contact with genuinely good friends.
Spending time with certain friends over Christmas break and spending New Year's Eve/New Year's with D and both of us getting calls from drunk and hungover friends to come bail them out, I've determined I'm tired of friends like this. At one point, Dusan even asked me "Tammy, do you realize that what you're doing (names) probably wouldn't do this for you?" and it's true. I'm done with the moochers, the ignorant, the ones who constantly tell their parents they're with me when they're secretly hanging out with someone else... I'm sorry if you're offended, but I'm the one who is offended. I hate that I don't know how to surround myself with a great environment of people I can rely on.
On a seperate note, two huge debates I've been having with myself since Saturday, the 2007 Kickoff:
1. Whether or not to get back involved with robotics. This time as a mentor, instead of a student, and this time, with PCEP (a much more dedicated, self-motivated, impressive, and cooperative team) instead of Northville (which has the worst stability in a team that is possible and are rich, pompous asses). I miss the old 548.
2. I always get asked "When are you going to come work for us?" or "How come you're not already working for us?" by all the Bosch mentors. They always tell me they can snap their fingers and get me in, and I've always planned to end up there eventually. Ricardo is just a bridge for me to get where I want to go. I don't know why I'm not there yet, there's not reason for me not to be. I keep telling myself I get a much more personal experience at Rinc since it is so much smaller (and I know everyone), but I feel sort of like there isn't anything more for me here. I'm not going into IT, even though I love the tasks they give me, and JVA most definitely won't help me excel any more than he has already, if he has at all.
Claude even told me when we went out to lunch last week that he's "not by any means telling me to leave" but "it would be a good experience for you [me] to go to a large corporation and get a feel for that environment" and that "you can always come back here if you want, there will always be stuff for you to do here"
Am I read to make the move? This is always been a matter of "when" and not "if", but I always figured it would be a permanent move when my level of college education is much higher. There are still a few dream internships (I know that is the dorkiest thing I could possibly admit) I want to complete before I go to Bosch and try to make a place for myself there.
What I'm really looking forward to:
- A few more Pistons games coming up that we're going to
- Starting up some new classes and a new schedule
- My new obsession of selling things (like books) on www.amazon.com
- The North American International Auto Show!

Do the Monkey/Drive a Cadillac STS
My favorite: Catalina!
Pre-game: Bogdan as a sad little girl? haha
Chris!
The band:
The game:
D's company car! The most luxiourious I think I've ever sat in. Voice activated bluetooth, satellite radio, 6 CD and DVD changers, auto-cruise control, automatic windshield wipers, keyless entry keyfob, heated seats and steering wheel, nav system, 320 hp (even though it's lugging a bit of weight), automatic manual, power telescope steering column, remote fuel door, remote ignition, automatic headlights, and projected display that only the driver can see.

His name is Romeo
Since I last posted, everything has been crazy!
For starters, I went back three or four times to see the little puppy in my last entry, and when I woke up on the July 4th morning, my mom was like "alright, let's go to get that dog!".
Name: Romeo
Type: Havanese-Chiuaua
Weight: 3.3 lbs.
Age: 3 months old
He's been keeping me busy although his potty training is not doing well and he badly needs to be neutered (he has some sexual behavior problems - yes you know what I'm talking about). Other than that, he is the sweetest baby and he has such a puppy sense of humor! Look at how tiny he is next to the step!
On July 4th evening, Justin, Dusan, Tim, me, and my mom went to watch the fireworks at Kensington Park. The traffic was like a hundred times worse than last year and it took us an hour longer to get home, but it was well worth it. I got some pretty sweet shots on camera through Tim's binoculars:
I wish I had a picture of the smiley face firework they launched - that was pretty cool.
On July 5th, my cousin Hans arrived from Taiwan. It's the first time in years anyone has come to visit, and the first time a cousin has come to visit. So far, we've taken Hans rock climbing, laser tagging, go-carting, putt putting, and have gone to Ann Arbor, Macaroni Grille, Taco Bell, Ajishin, and Noodles and Company.
Here's Colleen, Joe, Tim, Dusan, and Hans at Putting Edge:
With Ricardo, you could probably say I got promoted without actually getting promoted because Claude gave me the task of Flash aaaaaaand I got to move into Brent's old cubicle :) but no extra money :( Anyway, that's a big deal for me, for all you hot-shot Bosch-ers who are laughing right now :P I don't have to sit by Veronica anymore.
Catherine went crazy when finding out I got a dog. She has a dog and treats him/talks about him like he's her son. For lunch one day, she brought me to PetsMart to show me what was the best stuff for my pup. At least I can ask her anything about dogs and she'll know the answer!
Anyway, UofM-D orientation is coming up on Tuesday. Turns out I did alright on the math placement exam, suprisingly. Now we just have to wait on the English scores :)
