Well, seeing as school's out for most (and nearly for the rest), let's discuss our plans for our two and a half months of free time.
I have to go to camp the last week in July (so I won't see you guys for a whole week!), plus on Tuesday I'll be away til Friday on a canoeing trip (yes another one, this one fifty-odd miles, including a portage [term for moving your canoe across land] of a quarter-mile). Otherwise, I've got nothing better to do! Wish me Luck!

Two and a half months... we get six weeks in the UK, but then again, we get more holidays at other times of the year, so it's fair, and we have to wait less time between holidays (6-8 weeks at the most).
I intend to spend my time (which begins in a month) writing, meeting SIF members, guarding on the Ratty, lazing about the house and going to school to get the results for my exams.

Hanging around, and generally being a lazy son of a gun.

The same thing I do every summer, Pinky...try and take over the world!
Hehe, not really...aside from my graveyard shift, the only thing I have planned is a week-long trip to Colbert, GA at the beginning of August for my mother's wedding. I might also take time out to see if I can swing a trip to Albuquerque with my brother and sister.

I'm going away to London for a few days at the end of June. Other than that, all I've got to do is wait for my English GCSE resit result. Oh dear me! I'm not looking forward to it at all. I've messed it up twice, and I've no reason to suppose I've passed it this time.

I've always wanted to do that, Stepneydudette! Congrads.
This summer I'm taking tap dancing and singing lessons. Yay.

I've messed it up twice, and I've no reason to suppose I've passed it this time. Stuart English is a difficult one Stuart, I should know, I failed my Higher Grade English first time around, but passed with a bit of perseverence the second time around. Provided you put the work in you'll get a lot out of it. That's a lesson I'm learning the hard way with a view to resitting my 2nd year of Uni in order to get grades good enough to attempt an Honours Degree. And in the same breath again, I'm transferring Universities hopefully within the summer as well...! For the sumemr itself, I'm going to be working a lot of the time. So far I'm packing in the hours at work and been waiting patiently for my pay packet to arrive at the end of the month...should be bumper! Apart from that, I'll be in attendance at the SiF UK Meeting 2006 in August too, as well as editing together "A Very SiF Summer Holiday", which almost has Episode 3 completed, with a view to doing Episode 4 very soon.

The same thing I do every summer, Pinky...try and take over the world! Pinky and The Brain for the win! Anyway, I suppose I'll be heading on vacation somewhere for two or three weeks. Dunno where yet, though.

I'll most likely spend a few days at the Jersey shore. I may be going down to North Carolina to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins. (It's possible that one of my cousins may have a wedding this summer.) And it's slightly possible that I may go to Florida, not exactly sure yet. Other than that, I'll pretty much be hanging around the house, maybe take aside some time to spend with my friends.

I dunno what I'll do this summer, honestly. I'll probably just be lazy like last year. Might get a job, I hope not XD
Oh, and I might take a trip to Virginia, 'cause it's nice there ^_~

I'll probably make a new claymation for Newgrounds, but otherwise, I'll just be lazy.

I agree, Ryan, English was more difficult than I thought it would be when I first sat it. But the teachers says I've a fair chance, with 36% going towards the exam before even sitting the two papers. I had 64 out of 80 in the coursework, and 39 out of 40 in the speaking test (which I chose to be on the Ffestiniog Railway). The mark of all four things combined is 280. So, there is hope, IMO.

I'll be keeping a close eye on the STS-121 shuttle launch expected to commence next month.

Not much for me. Have bin' thinking of joining a Rugby League club for the Summer, great in this weather (grounds too dry and rough for Union, my best). S'pose I'll get BRA hopefully released and someother things, be gutted 'cos I've been denied to go to SiF York ( ). Most probably go to West Wales though, we got a flat down there. Quite nice tis too.

Nothing too special: Marching band practices, the usual trip to Gettysburg, writing, and doing my summer reading (for advanced English - it sucks ). Oh, and spending lots of time online, of course. ATK

I don't think I'm doing anything either. I'm pretty much having my summer holiday in the form of a school trip to Germany next week.
