Summer Plans

rebel girl 15

Gonna head to Kerry for a few weeks, and I'm planning on getting some work in the Cul Camps fingers crossed - also refereeing which pays nicely as well!

Hibernate for the rest of the summer - I'd love to have the money to go travelling to America or Australia!

Green Day the minute Economics ends on 23rd June, holidays with the family, look/beg around town for a job, generally not worry about the Leaving Cert.

Like last summer, only hopefully with a better results/offers week in August.

Heading to Muff in Co. Donegal at the end of July with my band, for the annual Muff Festival!

If any of you road trippers are hitting up Muff on your travels, I'll cya there

Finding a job in Mallow is nigh on impossible, so I'm probably gonna just hibernate for a few months. I do need to learn to drive though; hopefully will do the theory test once I've finished exams and see where it goes from there...

Party a hell of alot, go to amsterdam with the lads, get a better job, earn money, hopefully move out.

After my apparent failure at finding a job, I'm now resigned to my hopes of supervising the state exams, a ball of excitement that is. There's a couple o' reasons to celebrate and I'll probably be working voluntarily (hopefully, please voluntary work, save me from the boredom). Probably going out on da water hopefully. Anything could happen!

Take the theory test.

Oh yeah, that extra subject must be studied too.

Oddly, I'm looking forward to September, and to take on that darned feared LC everyone's talkin' about. I feel ready and I'm worried a summer of boredom or just doing whatever I like will totally ruin the momentum I have atm. Basically, I'd just like to get the LC over and done with and get on with my life...

Enjoy the summer- the initial part of 6th year was slightly hellish I found.

Why so? The sudden onrush of pressure after the summer?

Eh, no. There'll be at least ten minutes of ~*saying goodbye~* and shizz after economics, and then Green Day.


I've decided to go for my whole "write a novel!" idea over Summer. I regret things I don't do more than those I do, and I've decided to be a lot more "seize the day!" in my approach to life, so this is a big step.

To be honest I thought it was more of a continuation of 5th year. People might just see it more negatively because 6th years are usually the first ones back, and you're coming out of summer holidays into a proper work routine for the first time. Most other years it eased into the work.

I can't wait for the Leaving Cert to start, and end. I just really want to go horse riding lots up these lovely small mountains near my town. It will be unreal. Slightly scared of horses, but I also love them. Such beautiful creatures really

Sit on my bum and watch DVDs =D

I'm hoping for lots of childminding, because there is no-one my age in my estate. I'm sick of shopping centers and I hate all my friends. FML

Maybe your plans for the summer could be to make some new friends that you don't hate?

I have a 43things as well. I think learning the dvorak keyboard will the coolest because when I type in passwords people will be like "What did you type in?". Or, when I'm just randomly typing something. All very interesting.

I get that by having a really long, seemingly random password :P.

I've been conscripted into helping my Dad with some jobs around the house over the summer.

There goes being lazy.

I'm also going to learn the piano, because the piano in Rock Band 3 is going to be a 25 key keyboard and it is going to be full scales and stuff, and it's going to be amazing and and and and...

Pigwidgeon

I'm also planning on taking up piano again. I did up to grade 1, and did it for my JC, but gave up just after that.

Also onion: I now plan on getting rockband 3, the keyboard sounds epic! I wonder if you'll be able to buy just the keyboard by itself.

D4RK ONION

You almost certainly will as it's the only instrument you'd need to complete the "5 piece set". You'd have the guitar/drums/mic already, so many people would simply want just the keyboard. Personally I'll be buying everything.

I also need to learn all the new National and Frightened Rabbit songs properly. I haven't played or practiced guitar in a year and it makes me sad.

My summer doesn't seem to want to start till I get my results, which is next Wed. Then it shall continue as follows:
Turn 20 (:eek:) and have some form of celebratory bash.
Go to Belfast to visit a friend.
Go to Spain for a few weeks to improve Spanish.
Go to Spain with friend and/or cousin to just chill.
Go to Portugal with cousin to visit brother.
Bum around at home with friends.
And, of course, read several books, watch several films, practise ukelele, bake, cook and do more art.


I will be impressed if I manage half of that. *sigh*

I remember a time when I joked about Rock Band having a piano set... Now they're making me look like a fool.
