Talking summarize your summer

Sign in to disble this ad
In this thread we summarize our summer. The good the bad, doesn't matter. (bullets points aren't necessary)

I'll start first..........

The Good
- I turned 19, in Ontario, Canada that means I can buy beer
- I drank alot of beer
- I partied alot
- I went to the bars and clubs and got drunk and hit on girls
- I made alot of money working 6 to 7 days a week, 8 hours a day
- I met a special lady friend (met a few actualy....)
- I bought a lot of used movies and Video games and books
- Watch alot of good movies for cheap
- Hung out with my friends and made new ones
- Played alot of bass and guitar
- I Bought a flipping TRUCK!!!

The Bad
- Worked alot and had little free time
- Didn't exercise
- Didn't jam with my band or have any gigs
- A couple of my friends are furious with each other
- didn't go anywhere
- got real sick for a few days


All in all, good summer. Really feel like I grew as a better person. This semester I start a new program at college. I feel really nervous about it but hopefully I can make the best out of it and keep setting higher goals and actually achieve them.

I just really like living life

Your turn

I played bass, sat around the house, registered for community college, saw my girlfriend a few times, went camping once or twice, and went to the beach.

Basically, that.

Worked a lot.

Enjoyed myself a LOT.

Almost died once or twice.

Almost got arrested once or twice.

Spent an okay amount of time with the only girl I've ever truly given a damn about, now she's gone.

Didn't work out as much as I would have liked.

I got off early May, moved home... looked for a job for about a month, then got hooked up with an internship. Worked there a lot whenever I wanted and made my money... Played bass at a camp in NC. Bought my Sadowsky and Mesa Titan... Worked more. House sat a nice house for a few weeks... Went apartment shopping. Got my apartment... put a crap load of furniture together. Then I moved in and school is started now... My ex moved back from Seattle and we're back together. Really though nothing too crazy or exciting.

Well, we do have our burning season and it rains once or twice in January 'rainy' season.
