What are you planning to do over summer? Assuming you can..

Black Cat · 24th May 2010, 04:46 PM

I've spent the past few weeks literally hiding in my bedroom to avoid fighting with my step father, so I'm going to do as much away from home as possible this summer. I'd like to get a job, or at least my license so I can drive somewhere. I also want to volunteer at the local animal shelter.

I'm also teaching myself Italian, and working on getting back into writing more often.

24th May 2010, 05:13 PM

I am taking French next year, so I plan on starting my French studies when school lets out, along with continuing my Norwegian studies.

The reason I am taking French 1 my senior year is because I've always wanted to. My last school had French (cancled the end of my Sophomore year and replaced with Mandarin) but the teacher was so bad, you learned nothing. Hence why it was cancled, because she was fired. I knew I would move from there my Junior year, and I wanted an honors diploma, so I took Spanish because if I moved my Junior year with two years of French where I learned nothing, I would be stuck in a French 3 class with no knowledge of French. This year, I had to take Spanish 3 for the requirements of the honors diploma.

And I just like Norwegian..so..

Besides that, I also plan on loosing weight. I am going to devote myself to it. I want to go into my senior year without being called a fat--- everyday.

Work, work, work...

Besides work not much else? I might come into some hella money this summer... if I do I plan on making a trip to Las Vegas, but if I don't come into that money I will just party it up and maybe do some camping. I would like to hit up a concert or two, but I don't know if I will this summer.

ThePug · 24th May 2010, 05:20 PM

I'm going to be taking 13 credit hours at the community college. Some programming, speech, psychology, and drawing. I'm also going to be attending pride day in Des Moines on June 13th and Adventureland's Gayday on the 14th. It's going to be a great summer!

Apocalypte · 24th May 2010, 05:33 PM

Writing my thesis for my masters.

Job, & preparing for college.

**Lexington** · 24th May 2010, 06:25 PM

Taking a Disney Cruise through the Baltic Sea.

And visiting Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin.

I'm a bit more excited about the former.

And I'm jealous.

I'm working this summer and stuck due to governmental restrictions on my travel.

Courtneyyy · 24th May 2010, 09:39 PM

I'll be spending my summer in a tiny town called Loleta, it's on the coast in Northern California near Eureka.
I work for a non profit organization called Sierra Service Project. I'll be a Construction Coordinator and will be leading teams of high school teens in home repair projects such as fixing roofs, doors and windows, building wheel chair ramps, and possibly a little exterior painting.

Gaetan · 25th May 2010, 08:39 AM

Assuming it stops snowing (yes snowing), I'll get out and ride my bike some.

xequar · 25th May 2010, 08:48 AM

I'll be working on the house-a lot, especially since the BF won't be able to take much, if any, time off this summer because of the new job. As a side benefit, I will likely learn how to plaster.

**Lexington** · 25th May 2010, 11:21 AM

>>>And I'm jealous.

Don't be. There's not much to see in Fond du Lac.

Connor22 · 25th May 2010, 11:45 AM

actually think I'm going to enjoy the summer, instead of sitting at home hoping my job applications get through (part time summer and weekend, which didn't) theres Operation Friendship (worst name ever) youth exchange thing and there'll be a 17 year old American girl living with us plus we get to show them Ireland with the money we've raised all year, and going to Switzerland with the scouts, all in all a good summer... for once... so long as the rain stays away

Also, my birthday's in less than a month, and I'm going to Vegas with my buddies and I'm stoked for that too. WOO, gonna be a good summer!!!!

Austin · 25th May 2010, 09:50 PM
