Summer has finally officially started for me! In the past years, I've usually slept the morning (and maybe early afternoon) away while my mom yelled at me to get a move on from downstairs. However, I really feel like I'll be having fun and doing productive things during summertime, for once.
Some reasons why this summer won't be a drag...
1) No summer school this year! My parents and I failed to sign up in time, so all the classes were filled. This was kind of a blessing in disguise because of number 2...
2) Family friends from Southern California informed us that they're going on an extended vacation and would like my family to house-sit! So I'm gonna be in SoCal for almost a full month. Heehee. I'm so glad I didn't sign up for summer school.
3) As a "summer project", I decided that I'm going to knit hats and other items and sell them and donate the money. I mean, if I'm going to be sitting on my butt the whole time, listening to Narnia (another story for another time), I might as well be helping some people out in the world. My goal is to earn at least $100 for this summer and donate it to a charity of some sort (or donate the hats and knit stuff). It'll probably be World Vision because I already sponsor a young girl from the program. I think that this will be really fun because a few of my friends have already decided to help me out with this! They're a lot smarter than me though, since they've decided to make friendship bracelets instead of sweltering in the heat with yarn and needles. Oh well. All I can say is that my hat turned out beautifully, and someone will enjoy wearing a nice purple beanie, complete with a pom-pom, this winter. :)
4) I have yet to find out if this will make my summer fun, but it will definitely be productive. My mom and I have decided to go running every morning to stay fit! I'm not too excited by this because: one, I am not a morning person. Two, I'm not a fan of running nowhere (don't even get me started on treadmills). Three, I'm not a runner. I don't think more should be said here...
5) I might join the tennis team at school next year! I have no idea if this is a GOOD idea, but a bunch of my friends that play tennis really want me to go for the team. I think it'll be a no-cut sport next year, so it won't be so bad when I try out. But the truth is, I am pretty terrible at tennis and don't even know how the scoring goes. People expect me to be good because I play badminton. But really, the two sports are nothing alike. Anyway, a friend of mine has kindly offered to give me a crash course on how to play tennis this summer. If I fail... well, no tennis for me in the fall!
6) An ever-present ingredient of a fun summer: books! I've been reading like crazy, making up for all the good books that I missed during the stressful school year. There will definitely more book reviews, possibly two or three a week!
So there you go, my summer all summed up in 6 points. Man, lists are definitely the way to go.
By the way, if I know you personally, and if you'd like to help out with the "summer project", please let me know!
Thanks for reading!
