What are YOU doing for the summer?

Prep School Admissions

<p>So, I figured since most of us are well, for lack of a better word, extremely smart (I mean, face it, almost all of us got into the boarding schools we wanted) AND competitive, I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread regarding all of your summer plans. </p>

<p>I am currently interning at USAID, where I'll be working for two months. Then, although I'm still only on the stage of trying to convince my parents, I'll be attending Summer@Brown for two weeks :)</p>

<p>Now, what are YOUR plans?</p>

<p>I thought you had to be in college to intern at USAID?</p>

<p>I’m painting a moral [2] at my school, playing summer soccer, and going to camp. Not too much :/</p>

<p>Sadie2, since my dad works for the federal government overseas, you only have to be older then 16 to be eligible for internships :)</p>

<p>Rad, that sounds like a lot actually! what camp are you going to?</p>

5

<p>Okay, ouch, I didn’t get into any of the boarding schools I applied to. But okay, I’m going to pretend that I’m extremely smart anyway. Haha.
I actually won’t be doing much. I’ll be swimming, working at a local charity shop (it’s actually a lot of fun!), trying out cooking (hey, trial and error!) by watching my dad and my ayi (Chinese maid), and doing lots of work on poetry and geometry! Haha. :)</p>

<p>Yes, you pay $20 a month and you work at your own pace. People on CC recomended it.
In order to quote, you have to put the word “quote” in the hard brackets: before you start the quote and after the quote you do the same thing but there is a forward slash after the first bracket:
