Just wondering what everyone is doing to pass the time in this slow season of the year. :)

I'm doing Summer School (in order to replace U.S. Government class with a filler class next year... :shifty:), violin lessons (two a week), piano/keyboard practice (every day), watching some extra TV, working occasionally on my novel, and having get-togethers with friends. Altogether, I still wish a day had more than 24 hours! :heh: I still enjoy myself as best I can, though. :)

Blah. I'm trying to find a job where a thirteen year old can do legally. XD I babysit and petsit but so far, business is slow. I make little flipfloppy things with a trim and sell those. I read, (right now I'm reading a documentary on the Zodiac Killer) I draw, I write... I sit in my bedroom for long hours staring out my window because there are two lakes behind it and it's really really pretty during the sunset, to let my mind wander. There are still ideas that I would like to write out... But I don't know how. x.x And then there's golf. Not one of my favorite activites, but it's one of those, 'You have to do it or else' sort of things. ._.

I'm going on holiday in three weeks time, then after that i have a music festival to go to. Other than that, im just messing on internet, planning on tidying my room, i've arranged to go trampolining a couple of times and i'll probably buy random books in sales to read and watch long films like lord of the rings. I'm also keeping my japanese on the go so i dont forget any when i start uni in the autumn. Oh, yeah, and playing the piano/composing.

I'm going on holiday to Italy, in fact, I'm already there. It's not exactly brilliant because I'm a little bored. When I get home, I'll probably find myself a job and try to earn myself so well-needed-money.

--I'm consolidating my Japanese learnings from that past 3 years of hobby-study. I'm reading the first two Harry Potter books in Japanese
--Trying to get in shape for college this September.
--I'll soon be getting some tips from a nice lady from Church on how to play the piano. Free too.
...
--Oh yeah, I'll be learning the odd piano piece here and there. Probably from some Final Fantasy game.
And that's about it. :)
