Re: End of Summer

Last night I added something to my to-do list. I am going to go on a marathon to see how long I can go without sleep. I'll be starting either Tuesday or Wednesday at whatever time I wake up at PDT.

If you want to give me suggestions of things to do or contact me to give encouragement so I don't get too bored, PM me. I have a smallish list already.

I would suggest earthbound marathon but the translation for mother 3 isn't done yet.

Summer? What's summer?
Working full time stinks - you don't get a "summer." :(

I know, it's more like a long, slow, painful death.

Summer? What's summer? Living in England you don't get a summer...

:roll:

I don't have to go back to college until September 29th. Yay.

I would suggest don't do that unless you are wanting the permanent brain damage that comes with extended periods without sleep (about five days, on average).

I have managed to maintain my sanity (Relatively) the entire summer, which given circumstances is pretty impressive I reckon.

Quite the opposite for me- working full time has yielded my favourite summer ever. Well, working full time in a "new" city where I know a few people...

I've been staying in Toronto for the past four months and I'm due to leave in a week, but I've loved exploring the city and all the festivals, going to concerts, heading down to Boston, NYC, DC, and Philly with a friend, and skydiving! I'd never get away with doing this stuff back home in Vancouver.

And work is rather enjoyable! Heh.

Hmm, I accomplished almost nothing this summer. Hah! I have so much to do, it's quite scary.

I've been taking a health care aide certificate course this summer, which has been pretty awesome. It's a post secondary course that you usually have to pay to take, but I'm getting paid to do it. Excellent. And when I finish (next week) I can work as a health care aide. Excellent excellent. It's a year course crammed into a month and a half. I love it.

I start university on the second, though orientation in on the first. I'm stoked. I still have to get my standard first aid and CPR HCP certificates and I need to have a physical done by the university's health clinic. I also need to apply for student loans (groan). Gah, I'm so lazy. But there is an annoying story with that. Silly government.

Heh, well, when I mean full time, I mean like, year round, yadda, yadda. I think if I went to a different place for 4 months, I'd be a lot happier about it. ;)

I've visited Japan, gone to Otakon, invited over two college friends and explored Jim Thorpe, seen just about every movie that's come out in theatres, partied a bit, supersoaked pedestrians with a watergun (hahahahah), gone to a theme park, hung out with friends, and visited New Hope.

I wanted to take a trip to Cetronia with some friends to break in and see the Ghost Town, but I'll probably end up doing that since it's so near my college. Silent Hill FTW!

Yeah, but I didn't hold that against them. They've come out with other things that don't make me want to punch a baby, too.
