<p>So, usually everyone has epic plans the beginning of summer. Usually entering it with a bang, right? Well I don't know but that how it was for me. I had a huge list of what I wanted to do:</p>
<p>-make up with my best friend
-hit the beach at least every week
-read half the books for ap english
-actually do my ap english summer assignments
-and ap euro
-and ap french, lol
-watch some french films to help me out a bit
-get a job
-finish the common app
-finish my essays
-hang out with my family at least once a week
-learn to cook something
-watch The Office, I have season 1-4 just laying around in my room untouched
-take pre-cal
-visit colleges
-practice driving
-go running everyday
-BE PRODUCTIVE</p>
<p>But instead I did this
-didn't do any homework
-was on CC
-slept in 'til 2
-watched re-runs on tv
-researched a bunch of colleges (hey that's kinda productive)
-partiedpartiedpartieddd
... CRAP I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.</p>
<p>So yeah this officially the last day of summer, orientation tomorrow. :[. So CC, what were your summer plans? Did you break them? Did you keep them?</p>
<p>Well, my parents had already planned vacations and I didn’t have much in the way of goals, so I can’t really say what they were. I know I wanted to watch Spanish TV programs and stuff, but I didn’t. So what I did was:</p>
<p>-Planned vacations
-College visiting (McGill)
-summer work (still doing it)
-job
-got my license
-watched a lot of ‘The Colbert Report’, movies, and ‘How I Met Your Mother’
-did not finish my book I started in July. Not even half-way.
-Messed up my room many times.
-didn’t really hang out with anyone. </p>
<p>Yeah, I would’ve liked to have hung out with my friends more, but everyone was…busy.</p>
<p>ohh i just got season one of how i met your mother a few days ago. i was watching it today! and i forgot about my planned vacations. They were nothing special a week or two here and there at some random east coast states.</p>
<p>^I don’t think I’ve seen Season One. I saw a random episode on an airplane, and then I’ve been watching reruns on TV for what I think is Season 4. But I love the show, so I’m going to watch the new episodes when they come on.</p>
<p>I was actually pretty depressed during the summer. Kinda sad, but when I have a lot of free time to think about stuff and I don’t have any tangible work to do, I get pretty emo somehow -.- Don’t ask me why… brainwashed by school perhaps?</p>
<p>I slept, ate, and took a ■■■■■■■■ reading course (not for credit).
Then at the end of July I went to Young Life Camp for a week out of state.
August- Engineering Seminar at Santa Clara, Went to Israel for two weeks, and did research at UCI for a week.</p>
<p>Wanted to go to warped tour, get my license, and hang out with friends more… didn’t do too much of that.</p>
<p>I worked a lot and learned some Japanese. Hung out with a new set of friends often enough. Pretty much nothing else. But honestly, it wasn’t that bad of a summer. I’ve had worse.</p>
