With the school yeah coming to an end, I realize that I know have to get off my lazy bum and start working again. :( This makes me sad. I think though, that i should have plenty of spare time for things like camping and so on, which makes me happy again :). I don't think i will be able to go on vacation...again...sad:(....but i get to see "her". very happy! :D:D:D

what about you?

Unfortunately, summer means 'extra work' for me. (Seeing as I'm part owner of the business, this should probably mean 'fortunately', but... meh...)

Hopefully, a certain friend of mine will take that vacation she's been talking about and come down for a bit this summer... I could use the stress relief... ;)

"What are your plans for the summer?"

Pay off the remainder of my debts, spend two weeks at the beach with my family, pay off a new car for my ex, start pouring as much money as I can come up with into my grandchildren's trust fund, finish working on my car, find a small convertible to tool around in, perhaps start my Ph.D. program, write a bit, read a bit, post a bit ... stuff like that. :)

Maybe even look for a new girlfriend. Who knows? :D

Look for a job, wander aimlessly, stare at the wall, be bored, realizing it's boring being bored, surf the net aimlessly, and feel sorry for people who like Bob Dole.

From the movie Red October: "Son, a Russian doesn't take a shit without a plan!"

Perhaps I'll take a cue from them, eh? :D

First I plan to sleep 10 to 12 hours a night in hopes of actually recovering from the general unwellness that I've been experiencing at the end of the school year.

I also plan to start biking every day to try and get rid of all the weight I've gained over the course of the school year.

I plan on doing 2 2 hour band rehearsals a week (one with each band) and to get back to doing 3 to 4 hours of guitar practice a day (mostly done while doing something else as well).

I'm also gonna do a couple music "camps" and devote some time to hanging out with friends I never see any more.

Sleep. A lot.

As for the time that I do spend awake, I'll be on NS, and I'll come on to the forum to post every now and then.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get some time to practice on the drums. I have to admit, I've been slacking off for a very long time now, and it's not exactly helping. I usually can't motivate myself enough to practice for 4-5 hours a day, as I'm usually too tired to play for that long. :D

I'll also spend some time with my friends, and I may try to get outdoors once in a while. I hate the outdoors... :p

Well, since the class I teach (for money) doesn't meet in the summer, and the class I teach (volunteer) doesn't meet again until August, and the thing I usually do Tuesdays is suspended until August. I suppose I will clean house, try to up the marketing on my website.... maybe hang out with my kids....(more than I do already)

I am going on vacation in two weeks, and other than that..... not much more or less than I do now. :(


oh, and format my book to send to the publisher, I should be done with the final draft in a week or two.

I'm taking classes all summer so I can keep getting VA benefits. Also, it'll let me get my BA a semester earlier, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I'd like to go up to Sault Sainte Marie (Michigan and Canada) and visit some friends up there, but I don't know if I'll be able to schedule it.

Oh, and I'm going to keep working the exact same schedule I've been working. So it's going to be very much like the normal academic year only not -20F.

I'd like to pick up some more hours at work, but between my current work schedule and school I'll be at about 40-50 hours/week already. I think I may be too lazy to tack another 8 hours on there.

Lion Claws at the end of May, a road trip to the wine country in California, a week at Moss Landing on the Monteray Bay, a week in San Francisco.

If I am very fortunate and the right strings get pulled, a meal at the French Laundry.
