Hey, now that college courses and high school years are wrapping up, what do y'all plan to do this summer, aside from taking summer courses?
-
More LBT Projects! :D I get so much done over the summer and I greatly improve my understanding of computer concepts. By the end of the summer, I look back at the experience I had with computers when summer started and I ask myself "Could I really have been so inexperienced?" B) Summer is a great time for me. I don't have to worry about such irrelevant things like school.
-
1.Work, work, work and work! :P: It's true that I'll work, maybe not that much!
2. Fishing, wandering in Norway, amusement parks, bathing in my lake, being with friends! In short words, SUMMER HOLIDAY!!!! I LOVE IT!
And hopefully, if all works out, I'll maybe meet with another memeber here! :lol:
3. And ofcourse...LBT LBT LBT LBT X a unlimited number! B)

I'm not going to school this summer, 'cuz I'm going to Europe :D. I will be working hard as always and may even volunteer at one of the local state parks to gain some valuable experience(I'm pursuing a career as a park ranger B)). Last but certainly not least, I will continue to be on the GOF and perhaps focus on a longer LBT fanfic ;). That's my summer plan so far :yes.
-
doing nothing
-
All I'm planning on doing is spending time here, playing video games, and doing swim team. (Every morning at 6. :x )
-
I'm not going to take any Summer courses. I've decided not to because I need a break from all the work, although I'm continuing private Piano lessons. Aside from that, I will catch up on my personal writing and art projects, working in my job, and helping out in an Independent Arts Festival coming in July. Of course, I'll still be able to visit this forum and chat with you all.
-
hmm, to be honest, many things. I am going to make a trip with a ship with me and my family. Maybe, I¥ll meet lillefoot too. Hope everything works out fine bro :yes . And maybe I¥ll visit a german member of the forum, Guido, too.
-
Work work and more work. No real vacations at all.
-
Since this topic is mostly irrelevant to my current status, I'll just post a few blurbs and then be on my merry way...
Timehopper, you say you play the Piano? So do I, although I'm not very skilled, and I don't take lessons. (The thing's all out of tune; besides being tuned a half-note too low, it also progresses more out of tune the further up on the board you go! It's a mess... A 1920s Ivers and Pond - Boston.)
EDIT: Ahh, Nimrod, I heard about you possibly meeting Lillefot! I do hope that goes well for you; have fun!
-
Summer is the only time I feel alive. Sorta sucks too cuz I hate the sun and the heat. When I'm going through school days, it feels like I'm the walking dead. I just sit in the chair they tell me to sit in, I write down what they order me to, I go where they want me to go, I eat when they want me to eat, I'm silent when they want my silence, and I pretend to have the emotions they want me to have. School is a living H***. I love it when they let me out of my shackles, even though I am still a captive in this world and they can call me back whenever they want. School is the jail cell and life is the prison grounds. Although I will never be a totally free individual, it's nice to leave the cell for a little while.
-
Hmm, I got that almost exact feeling, landbeforetimelover. I know exactly what you're going through, buddy. Just hold your head up. It can't go on forever... Heck, I barely graduated when I did...
EDIT: Yeah, I don't like the heat either. And the sun does get to ya after a while. Sun blindness and stuff...
-
I'm not going to be doing much this Summer, except maybe destroying my eyes with video games or something in that area. My life is never exciting. :rolleyes:
-
I'll be playing video games, probably look for a job now that im going to college next school year.
I for one loved high school, and the 3 years have flown by quite smoothly.
-
Sounds like for some summer will be a wild fun time.
-
...It sure was for me, back in the day. But, in my case, when all you've been doing is having fun, it really kicks into survival mode after a while. It's not very much fun, anymore; it's just surviving until things kick up again.

*Summer School (it's not real summer school, but it's more of a social skills thing...'cause I have asburgers)

* Possibly Colorado (YAY)
* Ohio (YAY! I request the Columbus Zoo! FLUFFYYYY :D )

-
Sounds like you'll have a lot of fun, good luck.
-
Oh. You have Aspergers, too, Ptyra? Well, that's nifty. Hey, if you're in Colorado, maybe we can meet up sometime! :DD

Hey, i live in Ohio! :wow
And i'm actually going to Fort Rapids sometime during the Summer, and i can't wait for it. I don't quite know what it is, i've never been there before but i have a hint that it's got water in/near it. :lol
-
What I will do?
Playing "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" because the game comes finally on june to europe. :D
That will be my major activity.
And then drawing many, many pictures. Finally finish the LBT comic, and work on my other project. That will take a while. >.<
-
...Aspergers? What's that? Oh well, have fun anyway...
Sounds like many of you will be having fun; I wish you all the best! :)

...Aspergers? What's that?
Asperger's Syndrome is commonly called high-functioning autism. It can vary in degree, but some folks(like myself) have a case so mild it is barely there. It is a common syndrome, and is frequently mistaken for ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia(especially in children), or Psychosis. It was described by Austrian physician Hans Asperger back in the 1940s, but was not officially made diagnosable until 1995, the year after I had an eval done :angry:. I did not know until I was nineteen. There is no cognitive impairment, and in fact they tend to have above average IQ's. Their main problem is socialization. See, folks with Asperger's can't "read" gestures, vocal tone, puns, and other non-verbal ques. Basically, we're blind to being able to interpret others' emotions and may even take them the wrong way. They also have problems with motor skills(eye-hand coordination), pain sensation(I get my teeth worked on without novacane and feel no pain, yet can feel a fly land on me when I'm sleeping :blink:), temperature sensation(wearing tanktops outside in ten-degree conditions), other sensory problems(I have terribly sensitive hearing but somewhat bad vision), like routines and consistent schedules, have strong emotional reactions, tend to be very good-natured, and find they enjoy quiet settings and not parties. In a nutshell, the trademark of a person with Asperger's is having a quirky nature. Here's another tidbit: many, many folks with Asperger's tend to be obsessed about computers, dinosaurs, or both :p :wow. Believe me, they're everywhere :yes. They just seem so "normal" that they blend into society quite well; they're just the ones labeled as eccentric, quirky, or weird. When one thinks of the word "autism," they picture the basketcases of that disorder. However, there is a broad spectrum of autistic disorders, the mildest being Asperger's Syndrome. One in every one-hundred fifty people are born autistic, and from what I learned as many as sixteen per every one-hundred folks have Asperger's. Like I said, it is mild and many have lived their lives having no idea they had or have it. Who knows? Chances are there are other members here who have it, or they know folks who have it. It is very common indeed :yes.
-
^ As a matter of fact quite a few of us have stated in earlier posts that they have some degree of autism or even Asperger's.
-
Which is why this sort of thing works great for us, ne?

Yeah, or at least to help us on our socialization :yes.

Work Work and Work. I work at a movie theater so I think I'm gonna be working long and hard because so many people are off in the summer.
-
Hmm... They tried to prove I had ADD, but they never could... (Whoever they are.) "They" also label me slightly autistic, but, I don't think that it's a disorder, and they can take their diagnosis and STUFF IT. I just think that it's part of someone's characteristics... Heck, people thought Albert Einstein was weird, but, they discovered that he had a very large brain... Hmm... As I recall, they tried to label my dad too... But I won't accept any labels.
-
I guess this shows for some the summer isn't one large party time.

I agree, NeptuneNavigator2001 :yes. Every individual is unique, including any disorders they may have. It's all a part of them, and for folks to be comfortable in their skin they must be able to embrace every characteristic of themselves. It is, however, nice to know that(in this case Asperger's) there are many other folks out there dealing with the same thing. Belonging to a group who share something in common is a good way to make friends and have a safe place to express yourself :^.^:.
-
That is very true... But, like I said, I don't think of myself in this light, because it is a labeling. It's not nice to be labeled, that's how wars can start! (Maybe not often, but it sure is a good way to throw kindling on the fire, boy...)
-
what the hell school an't over, i've got a whole term left, the worst part is my best mate jake has left :( :( :cry2 god im going to miss him, and he's gone to the worst school his devil of a step dad could seen him to churchfilds btw dont ban me for that cos if you meet him you would hate his guts, there my school swom enemies, there alway a fight between us and them but i dont ever get involed.
-

See a few cousins that are a visiting for week or so
AND I am going to Ireland...
ALSO....I am going to start filling an application so I can get diagnosed to see if I really do have AS or something...:p I'm scared of what the results are going to be :unsure:
-
Yep I'm free for about four days then I go start another job.
-
I've been working the whole time. No recreation for me (well, except for this board :p ). When I'm not working on other people's computers, I'm working on my own. Still working on formatting my master. I'm about 2% complete with the backup. -_-
-
Yep I'm free for about four days then I go start another job.
Good luck on the new job.
-
Free after tuesday... * waits patiently *
I'm just sooo gooing to SLEEP :p
-
on 11 o clock
i have vacation :D :D :D
finally! YEA! Viva La France!
-
What I like about summer is I can work/play without having to worry about when I should go to bed because of school. I don't have a bed time or anything, but I don't want to get 2 hours of sleep and then have to go through school like that. :(
-
yea i know what your saying but guess what
yea! my vacation just started :D :D :D
finally! this year was work work work
(but yea if you want to be an defense attorney you must work hard :lol )
-
Good point Austin...you can truly set your own hours in the summer.
-
I love setting my own hours. During summer, I completely reverse my clock. It's 5:30am here and I'm just about ready to go to bed! :D It's nice to sleep during the day and be awake at night. It feels like you've got the world to yourself. Well, I certainly have the board to myself for hours when I do this. :p
-
It would be interesting indeed to see what sorts of schedules folks would do if they could set their own schedules as they wish.
