Maslow's Hierarchy/Self Actualization

It finally stopped raining for a few hours but it looks like it's about to again.

What I really want, is someone to talk to (not complain to, not rant to) about everything that's going on in my life who will actually be interested in what I'm saying and give me more than bad advice and conversation stoppers. Is that selfish?

I can't help but think I've been forgetting to do something really important.

Since the AP Psych exam last week, I think my brain has decided for itself to shut off completely. I feel like I have no attention span at all, can't focus, can't comprehend without trying really really hard, can't stay awake, can't stop day dreaming, can't stop singing songs in my head, I keep missing highway exits that I'm familiar with...

Went tanning with Yvonne yesterday :) I dunno why I wrote that, but I really like her and hope we keep in touch for years to come.

This Friday is the Brhlik clan's Goulash party - yesssss - I get to finally meet Angela/Jim+new baby and Eric/Amy! And I get to see Olivia! Saturday is our garage sale, even if it rains, which will suck.

Green with envy.

While at Ricardo today, I found my self immensely jealous of D/Josh/Ernie/pretty much all FH robotics guys (and Lindsey) because they're all so tight knit like family. Ricardo is actually a lot nicer of a co-op environment in many more ways: much more personalized, more attention, more to do, less "co-op" work, etc. etc... but I'm still jealous. D says that maybe eventually, I should try and switch over. I mean, off the top of my head, I already know 10+ people from Co-ops to high positions like John that could put in a good word for me.

On my mind, I've got this Motorsports project that I'm working on, and its got me baffled. I think it's almost going to become more of a personal benefit (if I work with SicHP, I guess) to understand the concepts and connections in this project, but I've got to understand it inside out for this project. Either way, I've been working on a presentation to show the Motorsports group that will do two things: 1-benefit their group with information and 2-impress the heck out of Tracy and John. Anyone extremely familiar with the Motorsports industry?

I'm such a lazy bum I can't even believe it.

They keep spinnnnin'....

Did I show you this goregous Aston Martin DB9 that D and I saw at NAIAS earlier this year? I know these pictures are a little blurry, but:
Friday: the guys attempted to play paintball while I sat inside with Mrs. Vetter by the fire :)
Saturday: sushi with D, got him a tux, looked for prom shoes, Joe came over, the three of us watched MI2
Sunday: breakfast with Joe, Joe left for Saginaw, out to dinner with mom? to Lazlo's with D to see Angela's baby and Olivia?

I got a dress!

So Wednesday (the day after my last entry) was the AP Psych exam I'm not totally sure how I did, but one thing is for sure: Mrs. Hoffman was right. The multiple choice questions start out easy and get harder. The first 30 or so were no problem, and then towards the end, I was spending like 5 minutes on each problem. The free response wasn't exactly hard except that we were given 50 minutes to answer 2 questions, and I barely finished in time.

After I got home, Megan and I went up to Great Lakes Crossing. Yes it was rush hour, but I have to say I don't think she's too good with directions. I mean I'm not either, but when we were going in the right direction, she'd convince herself we had to turn around. It didn't help, either, that she was on the phone with her dad relaying directions to me but accidentally incorrectly repeating what he had said.

Either way I got a dress :) Should I describe it on here? D might read it. Well, it's a sea-foamy, pastel green, it's strapless, and the bottom of it looks like one of those flippy, swing dancers dresses with frilly layers. But not a mermaid dress.

How to feel stunning

Last night, while feeling frustrated about a million things, I put on the white dress that I wore with Kyle to prom two years ago. Yeah, girls, you know you got the right dress when you put it on every day for two weeks straight after you buy it beacause you love it so much, and you know you got the right dress when you put it on two years later (it still fits suprisingly) and it still works its magic. I forgot what it's like to look in the mirror and feel stunning. I used to love this picture. I think it's adorable how Kyle has his head tilted and is smiling at me while I'm laughing at how hard it was to pin his boutonniere...

And yeah two other things today:
1. Got a text from Dusan saying we have VIP/suite tickets to the Pistons game tonight!
2. Definitely just saw a Lamborghini Roadster pull out of my subdivision! Here are pictures of the Murcielagos we saw at NAIAS this year:
Tomorrow is the AP Psych exam and I'm about to walk out the door to go to the game. Hmmm... well I don't feel bad since I've been studying nonstop for a week and a half, at least. I need a break.
