<p>:/ Lots of people are doing programs and stuff. --; Gee I feel I'm the laziest person on this thread. >/</p>
<p>2 or 3 classes at the local community college, a job to save up some money, borrow some books on economics/psychological theory from the local library, read a few stories here and there, and physical exercise... nothing fancy</p>
<p>UC San Fran biomedical research</p>
<p>Nasa Sharp:) :) :)</p>
<p>Summer: I will get together more often with my band (in which I am the rhythm guitarist and leader).....like 5 times a week to practice. I plan on recording the debut album and possibly tour Canada.</p>
<p>Paid: We have arranged some paid gigs, but the gig money will go towards the recording studio fee, which is around $90 an hour and we will need to spend about 10 hours in there for an album.</p>
<p>Tennessee Governor's Schools for the Sciences then a couple classes</p>
<p>How do you get involved with these internships? How do you even hear about them?</p>
<p>REAP: Research Engineering and Apprenticeship Program, doing some organic chem research at Macalester, I get a $1200 stipend (half goes to my mentor) so excited!</p>
<p>I'll be attending Summer Ventures at East Carolina University for Physics and Chemistry. That will last about 4 weeks, where I do research and have to present it, hopefully use it for future competitions.</p>
<p>I'll also be doing some Community Service at the the Library (school requirement). </p>
<p>I'll be training for XC and track, practice my instruments, visit some colleges, and relax with the rest of the time I get.</p>
<p>Also I'll be READING THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>o.o Whoaaa...xD Hehehe I think I have to compete someone against in XC.</p>

<p>Some relatives are visiting in June, so we'll be taking a few short road trips. I'm planning to spend time with my family and friends before heading off to college. I was about to get a summer job, but the fact that I'll be gone most of June may be a bad thing to prospective employers.</p>

<p>Does anyone know any summer programs whose deadlines ARENT due yet? Good science programs especially or summer college programs</p>
<p>I applied for one camp and got rejected. NOw my summer is pretty much wasted unless I find something to do. But apparently, many of the camps I wanted to go to have due deadlines.</p>
<p>ANd where can I get an internship?</p>
<p>Is NASA SHARP or MITES competitive to get into?</p>
<p>NSLC national student leadership conference in DC for engineering....prolly a waste of money......Acadec crap speech, resource guide stupid A nazi coaches......Dance classes maybe....no time for a job</p>
<p>FBLA nationals!</p>
<p>Then I'm going to either work at a summer camp as a counselor, work at some other place, or intern.</p>
<p>gonna stay home. Gonna work a bit for my rents ( kinda feeel bad cuz during work have been distracted b/c of AP's), try to do a computer program for my physics teacher, and take a look at a couple of books, renaissance history, and anatomoy and physiology (finally, a topic I enjoy!) for academic decathalon. Maybe some community service or something. maybe church. and read a lot of books 4 fun</p>
<p>That won't be the focus of my summer though. I know I am of low academic calibur and need to improve my mind if I wish to learn as much as I want to. What I really want to do is learn how to improve my critcal thinking and problem solving skills. It's incredibly furstrating how I have to be shown how to do problems in physics when all the information I need is right on the paper. </p>
<p>Does anyone know of a good book for that? I heard of the Art of Problem Solving on this forum. would that be worth looking at?</p>
