1. State when your summer begins and when it ends.
2. State your goals, not plans, which require actual effort to achieve (i.e. sleeping in or travelling are not goals, although saving up money to travel could be considered one).
3. For any goals you want to add/remove/amend later during the summer, just edit your post and make the changes.
4. In early September I'll make another thread where we can discuss how well we achieved our summer goals, but if you want to talk about your on-going progress before then, you can do so in this thread.
5. Requesting sticky.

Note: Because PS-related goals can become quite lengthy, please reserve them for General Discussion and talk about mostly non-PS-related goals here. If you want to talk about PS-related goals, try to keep them general: "create x number of PS tutorials and learn x number of tricks" is OK but not "make tutorials for this, this, this, and this, while mastering this, this, this, and this", because again, the latter is better suited for the General Discussion forum. Thanks.


Me
Summer began April 21, 2007 and ends rougly September 9, 2007.

Goals:
* Read 45+ novels and master techniques from self-help books (memory, self-manifestation, etc.)
* Become a better writer and write stuff (blog, PS articles, etc.)
* Pass my two distance education courses with decent marks (75+).
* Play and record piano.
* Exercise 1-2 hours per day.

Summer for me begins on 16, June 2007 and ends aroud September 1, 2007.

Goals:
Do alot of work in the garden
Learn the basics of tricking
"Build" my body a bit

-Develop a fault-tolerant data persistence system for a distributed network in a MMORPG framework. (My summer research).
-Continue to pratice with my band
-Continue to make shows with my band
-Continue to practice with my band
-Play piano
-Compose a piano concerto or a symphony.

Haha, way too many to list on my part so i'll start with a few

- Learnd F2L and bring my solve time to around 40 seconds
- get better at penspinning (obviously ;) )
- learn to rollerblade more proficiently
- learn as much as possible doing research with a prof to prepare for next years organometallics
- Get back into shape...eg. my bench press has shrunk down to 200 because i get lazy during the school year :banghead:
- read the 4 novels i have sitting on my desk and then some more

My summer begins somewhere in June... somewhere in September.

-Get rid of my ego via meditation (well, most of it).
-Break off any connections with all my RL friends for the entire summer and make minimal contact with my family.
-Once again, revert to Uberman's sleep schedule. (I'm used to it after two summers of it).
-Get my Operator level Radio License.
-Reduce amount of time on computer from 10-11 hours, to about 1 hour a day. (This is the hardest goal of all).
-Workout and make my body look built.
-Tan.
-Go on Warrior's Diet.
-Run 10 miles a day.
-Try alcohol and ketamine (not together).
-Ascend in Nethack again (You bet, son).
-Build a new chem-shack.
-Take a walk every day, and smoke weed more often. Basically, relax. (It's hard work for me)

Everything on there is very plausible, and I plan to change myself drastically this summer, like I did last summer. The hardest things on that list will be relaxing, getting rid of my ego, and reducing computer time.

IDK if this is true but if you want to smoke weed more & you havent tried alcohol you sound kind of like a drug newbie (no offense), be careful with ketamine, people dont view disassociatives as addictive but it definitely is. That is, if you can get it anyway... :P

Yes, I'd consider myself a drug newbie... but not because I haven't tried alcohol or smoke weed a lot. I just haven't had them ever available. Most of the things I do I get from online so I know the source and purity. And I'm aware of the dangers of K, I've seen Party Monster! (lol jk) But yeah, my friend is addicted to K :(

starts round june 20 - sept 12 or so

- work on my fitness level focusing on endurance
- work on my ultimate
- try out rowing
- go on more outdoor trips
- bike everywhere i go

I dunno when my summer starts/ends.

*get a job
*workout more.
*make up my failed english class(urghh)

Retrospectre's Summer goal:

"-Break off any connections with all my RL friends for the entire summer and make minimal contact with my family." WTF?!! Why the hell would you wonna do that?

"-Go on Warrior's Diet." Way to go!!!

"-Take a walk every day, and smoke weed more often. Basically, relax. (It's hard work for me)" Do whatever makes you feel happy buddy. =)

The varsity team as a freshman? GOOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK MY FRIEND! Serisouly Your gonna work your ass off, but good luck.

Well I haven't been in the scene for a while but just remember SL has a lot of seizure ;) My friend got caught with heroin in school the other day & had to call his dad, confess what he'd been up to, and get him to flush/throw out the following for fear of police: Heroin/needles stash, milligram scale, 1000 baggies, 2c-b (dunno how much), 1g powder alprazolam, 200mg DMT, 5 vials of K, 1000 unfilled caps, 2 ounces of pot (sweet tooth) & half an ounce of hash (AF stuff) The reason he got into all that business was mainly to try ketamine. So dont go overboard :-D

Summer starts June 15th ish, ends August 29th.

- Commit to some sort of excersize plan.
- Continue to PS despite not being in school.

2. And I need to learn to socialize better... after hanging out with my friends day after day... I just hate them. I learn to hate everyone. I just need a break from people right now or I'm going to snap.

-Have fun

i made the varsity team and i worked out. I'm pretty much done wiht my goals

My goal is to TRY and ease off psing a little bit. Im a freak a leakin addict and it feels awquard :lol:

Eso got his GF :lol:


ive done jack shit this summer.

Be able to carry my drum in marching band with no problem (working on it)

Win VP fair in STL tomorrow (Pending)

Learn more tricks (pending)

Doubt I'll hit 45+ now because I didn't factor in vacation time and the length of some books, so I'll try for 10 or so now. Still have to read self-help too.

Haven't written anything yet. If Z-bo starts a Mafia game I'll write the narrative for it.

Going well so far, but organic chem is getting tougher.

Scratching this one off the list as I'm no longer interested in it.

Done.

Haven't begun yet. Visited local gym today to check membership fees.

So far I've only accomplished 1/5 (after dropping shorthand).

May 23-August 27
-at least try to work out
-Finish the campaigns on my video games
-practice the viola

Goals:
Learning the list of tricks that I listed myself to master
Study/review what I did last year
Make a website for my collab team
Teach my friends new pen spinning tricks.
Basically having fun!

Summer break started June 19th, and ends on September something... seems I forgot when school starts.

Anyways, my goals are:
- Try to complete some of the RPGs in my backlog (so many left untouched).
- Write my first multi-chapter story, and maybe even some poetry (<3 English).
- Keep a close eye on Hello! Project every. Single. Step. Of. The. Way.
- Gather more J-Pop music I've lost since my PC switch.
- Improve my pen spinning (should this even be said?).
- Finally, practice piano.

Wait; and to not be a lazy bum.

I doubt I'll be able to accomplish all of these.

uhh...nothing xD

Well uhhh...I'm basically on varsity already, but I probably won't make singles 1. I've been told to do singles 3 or 4, but that's ok.

Track record...never attempted to break it yet, but I believe I could. I am attending the summer runs for cross country though and that is quite fun, so that makes up for my running.

Violin is going extremely well with my concerto.

I've been hanging out a lot with people and such.

First summer I've actually done productive things yet had fun instead of wasting it away.

School begins Monday for me. Let's see how things went...

I read 6 novels and 0 self-help books. Fail

Only wrote for Mafia game and didn't even finish that. Fail.

Got 76 in one and got raped in the other on the exam. Fail.

Success.

Major fail.

Conclusion: I fail at life.

1. Didn't do much work in the garden, it's just that summer gets f****** hot and then I just stay in the house. But we managed to make 180 liters of wine.

2. Didn't learn anything. Though I improved some other stuff like handstands, bboy freezes...

3. My abs are visible now.

Conclusion: summer vacations are too short B)
