The ANDY Page

Hi all. I noticed that Jen decided to put up an "Andy page" so I thought I'd contribute a little.

Okay, so what should I talk about? Oh, I know, I'll tell you a little bit about myself. As most people already know, my name is Andy Lam and I'm currently a sophmore in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. As of right now, I plan to major in Computer Engineering and minor in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. Hopefully, in 4 to 20 years, I'll graduate and leave this Hell-hole. Actually, I really don't mind living here but the work load is horrendous. You WILL NOT believe how much crap I have to do every nite. I think I would like college life a lot more if I didn't have to spend 10+ hours a day studying and cramming.

Contrary to popular belief, although I like to rag on my Spartan friends, I actually don't bear any grudges against them for simply for attending MSU. Actually, my sister attended MSU for a while. I *STILL* think that Jenni would do much better here in Ann Arbor though and I think she'd really like it here.

Okay, this is where I tell you all about my checkered past. I was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and attended the Rockford Public schools from K-12th grade. Last year, I managed to graduate with honors and find my way to Ann Arbor (I think that $50 I slipped them helped). Originally, I was to attend the University of Illionis in Urbana-Champaign. However, at the last possible moment (3 weeks before classes started) I was accepted by Umich. After much consideration, I gave up 16 foreign language credits, 8 English credits, 4 Math credits, and $4,000 to attend U of M (get this, tuition at U of I is cheaper--even though I'd be an out-of-state student!!!!!). Why? Well, Umich *had* a better CE program than U of I, I'd be closer to home, I'd be closer to my sweetie (only 1 hour away vs. 13 1/2 hours if I went to Illinois), and my friend Matt was here. Unfortunately for him we're roommates now so I get to make his life Hell 24 hours a day.

What are some of my hobbies and interests? Well, I like to read (Tom Clancy and David Eddings), tinker with computers, chat on IRC, and harass my friends. I also like camping, biking, jogging, and roller blading. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I spent a couple years as a Boy Scout (go fig--I think I'm the perfect example of the anti-scout), and a couple years taking Tae Kwon Do (getting the crap kicked outta you is a great way to get in shape). Well, that's it for me. It's kinda sorta late so I think I'll go to bed now. Oh yeah, I almost forgot--here's my senior picture. Oh yeah, before you look at it, cover one eye so you won't go completely blind.

Okay, Now here's my feeble attempt at getting back at the carbon based lifeform that decided to provide Jen with forbidden pictures. On the right is Matt. On the left is his date, David. Pucker up guys!!!
