Well with the summer [or winter] fast approaching, what does everyone have planned?

This will be strange for me because it'll be the first time that over the summer period, July-September I won't have a continuous holiday as I am now working. :(

However, I plan on playing plenty of gigs with my band, writing new music, attending a shitload of parties as usual, spending time with mates and my girlfriend, and making the most of the fine weather. I also plan on having plenty of driving lessons, as I want to have learnt to drive by christmas. I'll hopefully start having some lessons by the end of this month, but its going to be difficult with work.

Oh, and a few water fights would be nice too.

There are some nerds in Amsterdam who have requested my presence. Not sure if I will grace them or not. ;)

My good friend Phillip invited my girlfriend and I to a weekend getaway out west with his girlfriend and some of her friends. That would be cool, but nothing's arranged yet.

And I'm going back home to Oregon for 2 weeks. Which I'm looking forward to.

My summer officially starts when I graduate which is in two weeks!

Let's see. After May 18th:

I'm gonna go to Vienna and do some shopping and just walk around the beautiful city.

I'm taking my brother on holiday to Prague because I want to be a good sister. I was evil and he deserves. Hope that works out. We will act all classy.

I'm gonna take classes and do my driver's licence finally.

Study French and Norwegian in my spare time.

Travel to Berlin to interpret in June.

Travel to Amsterdam to meet you people. Per, there is no 'if'!! *glares*

Official graduation ceremony at the end of July.

Get a full time job in August.

And then I hope Iz is here in September and maybe someone else is here too. We shall see.

Lots of sun, the garden, friends, good music, food, visits to various places and possibly a holiday.

Sounds good to me!

I have 2 options for the summer

#1 : Find a job, take driving lessons, go to the Vans Warped Tour. Also the usual stuff like parties, seeing friends, etc.

#2 : The usual stuff for the beginning of the summer.

With one of my friends we'd go somewhere in Canada (Vancouver if we're able to) from mid-July to mid-August to improve our English. I'd have a job there and I'd be in a family.

For the 2 options I'll do something for my birthday, hopefully.

Nah, for the first four of the six weeks I will be in Malaysia.

The last two - either work, or if by then I hang around with a new crowd of friends, socialising.

I don't want the last two to be boring, though, so I prefer to socialise.

I want to have a job.

I want to have my boyfriend around, even for just a little while.

I want to get a fucking tan.

I want to lose weight.

then there's the meet-up, which I'm very excited about

have to retake at least one exam.

I want to pass my first year & have that fucking piece of paper in my hand that I did.

I want to be happy.


there. my plans for this summer. I don't know if I'll be leaving the country, but yeah, probably. there hasn't been one summer in my life that I didn't. I'd like to go to Switzerland with some friends, but I'm not sure that can be arranged.

Exams start in June, end on the 20th same month. After that (hell yea)...

June 21st SOAD in Rotterdam.

Squeeze in random visits to Brussels, Oostende, Plankendaal, Hasselt, Gent, and possibly any other interesting place we come up with. Oh, and shoot me if I spelled any of those wrong, and I prolly did.

Meantime - going out with the uni friends, having fun, doing stuff and finally relaxing!

June30-July3 - Werchter (a festival in Belgium)

July9th-July14th - Amsterdam with the freaks.

After that, Serbia at a point, somewhere around the 20th probably. Gonna see family, friends, go out a lot and relax a lot, while also learning French and reading anything I get my hands on... This is all providing I don't fail anything, if I do, I'll have to study. In this time, I'll also spend a few days at the countryside, possibly another few at the lakes in the north, and I'll see if anything else comes up... You never know.

Back to Belgium around the end of August (re-do exams for Ken, and maybe for me), so bits of studying, continuing with French, more fun with people, more going out, paperwork, finding a student job (finally), maybe going to see Sim in September, if I have enoguh cash and everything works out.

And after this, uni begins.

Edit: hah, Bella reminded me of losing weight. I wanna do that too, but we'll see how determined I am.

Ah right.

I have exams too - I have started revision, but not much as it is only the start of the revision plan.
