Summer Wrapping Up

As the summer cruises to a close, we end our chilling time. Just wanted everyone to summerize (pun intended) what they did all summer.

I worked at work, worked for ROTC, worked on my truck, and hung out with friends a lot.

That I did this summer ...

I went to Twin Falls, Idaho for few days to visit some old friends (I used to live there). I went to Las Vegas with friend from high school and that's pretty much it.

I got my motorcycle license and a bike, and have been riding back and forth to school and work. Put in a little bit of mild highway time, trying to feel it out. Took a full courseload, and planning to get another internship in the fall. Worked at my normal part-time job. Fit the girlfriend in somewhere between there. Just been busy all around, I guess.

Ive worked two jobs the last 4 summers and now that I was replaced by a computer at one of them due to budget cuts, Ive been doing all the things I love to do but haven't been able to in a few years.

Mountain biking, hitting the gym harder and more often, fishing, joining a softball league, taking in more sports, reading, working in the yard, golfing, going up north to Da U.P., Eh?(its a Michigan thing ) I plan on doing some camping, too.

However, now that I only have one job and a two job budget, one pleasure I used to have was to drive around and listen to music but thanks to high gas prices I cant do that anymore.

Summer? Thats some kind of enjoyable time off?



Working fulltime, no classes this time around so I'd have time to get a little work done on my truck. Fall classes start Aug 25th lol. Other than that, the same crap I do over the weekend. . .work on the house, truck, school, a couple fishing trips and started packing my savings for house down payment in a few years

You youngsters need to enjoy yer summers while you can, once you get a job. . .you'll wake up and wonder where the heck all the time went

Lets see, I will bite although I am out of school. I did what I normally do the rest of the year, I worked my full time job and grilled a whole bunch and took life easy every chance I got.

The first month of my summer I did nothing cause my ankle was in a cast.. that wasn't to fun. Then I did a lot of swimming once my cast was off. Today was my birthday and I went shooting with my brother and the stupid .30-06 gave my a bruise the size of softball. Its awesome though cause its one of those bruises that are like under the skin. lol. anyways, then tomorrow I'm going to a North West Chapter get together up in WA, then to my cousins for the week. Then my summers basically over.
