obi Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Good news in May allowing, I will simply chillax to the max. Hopefully convince my parents that i definitely NEED a Kawasaki Ninja 250 (Then subsequently get a job to pay them back for it >_>) And hopefully go travelling somewhere nice Without the good news in May i'll be slaving away in summer school to get English out of the way to apply to more OOP's next year. Either way i'll probably volunteer at the hospital and hopefully teach ESL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKY Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Summer's are always fun. Not really sure where I am working this summer, so my plans are kind of fluid. 1) Getting married in June/honeymoon 2) Start volunteering somewhere since I am at the end of 2nd year and I have not done any volunteering yet 3)Move out into an apartment for the first time (with my wife-to-be). 4)Either work at the same job I have been working at every summer since I took a year off from school, or work for Abbott if I am given that job 5) Get to hang out with friends who all went away to school 6) Soccer! 7) Want to start some long-distance biking 8) Read, read,read. Interesting to hear what everyone is doing so far. Some of you are pretty ambitious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarathonRunner Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 The two main ones: - Spend a lot of time with my husband - Train for my fifth marathon (one of the things my husband and I do together - gotta love a man who doesn't mind running with me at my slower pace for 3 hour + long runs) - If there is a convenient time in my marathon training when there is a local triathlon going on, then do my third sprint triathlon - I loved the two I've done so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps even meds if I get lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonRunner Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Shopping Roadtrips Try skydiving Skydiving is AMAZING! I did a tandem jump with the Skydiving company in Gananoque in Ontario and it was fabulous. Even paid extra to have the camera jumper come along and film me. I have to say, that I HATE freefall though, and that's the part everyone usually loves. I did not enjoy it at all, and thought I would throw up at any moment (I didn't though). Once the 'chute opened, though, it was just amazing! Totally incredible. I just loved it up there. I've also done a tandem paraglide, where we "ran" off a mountain, and that was incredible too. No freefall, so I actually enjoyed it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in2bat0r Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'll be working on-car (EMS) all summer to fund my academic adventures, I was also asked to do some chem research so if I get the money I suppose I'll be doing that from may-july.

Erk Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm totally torn. If I get in in May, I'll spend it working for my dad doing some renovations, which I really enjoy and am looking forward to. If I don't get in, I'll sign on to a PhD program and get started on the rest of my life (gonna apply again next year, of course, but that's a long way off). If I get waitlisted, though, I have no idea which I'm going to do. I hate gambling with my future :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
