Your Summer Plans: 2013!

Post by American Eagle »

Look back at your plans from last year.

It's April now... what do you foresee for yourself during the summer months? Vacation, summer school, zombie attacks, marriage, graduation, the debt crisis or what? \:D/

This summer I will be volunteering at the same Ranch as last year, as well as just hanging out with friends and family. Not to mention getting ready for next year (technically my last year of college \:D/ )

Well, if you look back on last year, that didn't happen. :(
I'm hoping to go this year. On our way to Calgary.
But the problem is, I probably won't go down to Calgary. :|
So, I'll most likely be in the same place as last year.....maybe I might go to the zoo or the waterpark. :D
But I don't feel so bad when I realize that a lot of people don't go on vacations. So I'm okay. \:D/
I sound whiny, don't I? :P

Everything I said last year happened, except for the few days on the north shore. That turned into a really fun day trip with my sister and her friend to the north shore instead.

This summer I'm a groomsman for a very good friend of mine in Columbus. I'm taking extended time off from work, so I'll be traveling before the wedding, I just don't know where, though I'm leaning towards Mackinac Island. And there should be another day trip to the north shore somewhere in there too (there is unfinished business up there to take care of, as we had to cut our hiking short last year after I fell in a river).

Last summer I worked a lot and did a lot of shopping because I moved away from home for the first time for university. This year I won't do nearly as much shopping because I already have most of the stuff I'll need for school next year.

My plans for this summer include working (possibly 2 jobs), playing simcity, sewing or crocheting, reading, and exercising. I want to join a crossfit gym, and also want to join a masters swim team. I definitely won't be able to do both, so I'll have to decide.

What will I do? Well, assuming I actually survive the graduation crunch, I'm hoping I'll have time to recharge my batteries after going nonstop these last few weeks. (I don't think I've had a real vacation all year. *sigh* Christmas break was spent studying for diplomas and Spring Break was a Spanish homework fest.) Outside of that, I'll probably guilt myself into working again this summer--though perhaps not full-time like last year. Ugh, forty hour work weeks... On top of all of that, I'm also going to do a whole lot of reading, since I never have time to just read during the school year. I'm also hoping that I'll the opportunity to travel to the states to visit some friends, but I have no concrete plans at this point.

Looking back on my plans last year, we DID end up traveling the 24 hours to Texas and throwing a surprise 60th birthday party for my mom. And I met Catspaw and JF! \:D/

This year, I don't know of any plans right now besides the farmer's market. There will be a primary election in June, so I'll be at the polls one day. Other than that....pretty open this year. :)

I don't think I had a plan on ToO last year. As for this year: Graduation!!!!, Disneyland, hanging out with my friends, and looking for a legit job. And who knows, I could get into a residency program in California and THAT could be my summer... terrifying thought. Oh, and movies. :D

My plans are simple. Work making springs, see my churches merge and host a few guests here in CT.

Downside of moving out of NYC though is that people don't want to travel to me as much....

You make my summer look pretty dull... ;)

Looking back at last year's list, one of the things that I never added was meeting Josh and Jake. That was a really awesome time! \:D/

Anyways, plans are just like those of last year: catch up on school as we can, do activities/events as they come, and rest when we're able. :) Maybe write more letters to friends, garden, do some summer sewing projects, memorize chapters for Bible Quiz, etc.

I read my summer plans from last year, and I actually completed them all :)

This year is probably going to consist of finishing up/getting ahead in school, as I've dedicated 2 hours a day to that starting June 24th. A couple of music contests, which I'm already practicing and excited for :), our annual church family camp, and the National Bible Bee.

As far as smaller things, I'm hoping to read at least two books a week outside of school assignments, run at least 1 1/2 miles most days, finish some projects that I've been putting off for way to long, and keep in touch with long distance friends better.


I'm really looking forward to this summer!

I'm hoping to make some doll items this summer using DIY videos from a channel from Youtube.
Go swimming, jump off a diving board for the first time in years. (not gonna happen. ;) )
I might end up writing some stuff, too.
I've been thinking, and maybe I could get a paper route for to earn money, since I have none. (thank you, Wii U, and New Super Mario Bros. U)
I shouldn't be so grumpy. There are plenty of interesting things I can think up to do!
Exploring our small town sounds like something cool to do in the summer.

I'm hoping to :) My goal was to read 52 books this year, which breaks down to a book a week, but I haven't had nearly enough time to read this year, so that's one of my summer goals. :)
