<p>So right now, all I'm really doing this summer is my state honors academy from June 12 to July 2 (and NCFL nats, can't go to NFL because of said program >.<).</p>
<p>Anyway, I'd get a job, but I don't think they want to hire me for 2 months when they can have someone for all of the summer. So, what do you guys think I should do? I'm considering JSA (although that's so monstrously expensive that, well, my parents might not pay) and similar programs (like Global Scholars), or should I just stay home and volunteer? Any idea about how to improve my college app in an low-cost way that's still related to international relations or creative writing? Advice is appreciated. :)</p>
