Summa Time

DONE GRADE 11!!!  But I have been So. Bored.  Which started to make me worry about how I'm going to spend the next two months of my life!  So I made a list, here it is so far:

1.  Learn Spanish - I have this ten minutes a day book, an 'Usborne' and 'A Becka' book (it's a homeschooled thing :-P ), so I think I'm set to be able to somewhat speak Spanish by the end of the summer.  Deséame suerte!

2.  Re-visit all of my favourite movies from when I was little.  I'm so stoked for this, but I'm mostly excited to re-watch 'The Princess and the Goblin', 'The Troll In Central Park', and 'The Swan Princess' trilogy :-D  Like, so stoked.  So stoked I should be embarrassed, but am instead quite proud.

3.  Learn to Juggle.  This includes your traditional circus act of juggling, but also learning to juggle a soccer ball.  Having played soccer for 8 years, it concerns me that I cant do that for very long yet :-P

4.  Read.  And read and read and read and read....  I have a summer reading list in my room, and I'm quite proud of it!  It's got classics, from Homer to Dickens, but also some modern works that I thought looked interesting in Costco.  Can't wait :-)

5.  Take at least one noteworthy photograph every day this summer.  Or at least thoroughly document it through photos.

6.  Lifeguarding classes.  Standard first aid starts next Saturday, and I have AWSI and NLS in August.

7.  Camp Evergreen!  It's a camp run through my church and one of our sister churches, North Delta Evangelical Free Church.  It always runs in the first week of August, so this year it's the 1st - 6th.  I cannot wait, I'm FINALLY a junior counselor, and next year, I'll be senior staff!!!!  I can't believe I've come so far, I remember being 8 years old at camp, wondering if such a day would EVER come, it seemed like all of the counselors were so OLD!

8.  Wait.  And wait and wait and wait and wait.... for my niece or nephew, due on September 26th!  Pray for my older sister, she has to be pregnant through the summer :-S  Plus, she has a heart condition that was under control, but now that she's pregnant it's rearing it's lovely head again.  The doctor says all will be well, but your prayers would be comforting anyway :-)

9.  Creation Fest Northwest!!!  SO STOKED, the lineup this year is amazing - TobyMac, Switchfoot, Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Newsboys, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Francesca Battistelli, Hawk Nelson, Disciple, and so many more :-D  Not to mention the speakers! *sigh* :-D

10.  Clean my room.....  Yeah.  LOL no!  It's not actually that bad, I just never got a chance to really set it up and go through stuff after we moved in, so I've been sorting through old toys (yes, I still have my Barbies and Polly Pockets, DON'T JUDGE ME.  I'm saving them for future nieces. Yeah.  That's it.), books, clothes, and bags.  Purses, duffles, backpacks.... you know, most girls love shoes more than air, but for me, its bags.  /facedesk.

11.  Do nothing whenever possible (check :-P )

12.  Catch up with my friends....  I was beyond busy this year, my social life went down the toilet :-P  So I'm set to repair it this summer :-)

13.  Compose a Sonatina, Rondo, or Minuet.  I took Harmony II this year, and I'd like to put it to use (in the nerdiest way possible, obviously) :-P

14.  BUY MY BABY!!!!  (better known as a Nikon D7000)

Fine :-)  That's all I've got so far, but that sounds pretty good to me!  Oi vey, dont plan on seeing me in August.....  Camp 1-6, AWSI 8-13, NLS the 15th - 26th....  I will be so tired, on my days off between activities, I plan on sleeping like I'm hibernating :-P  Wish me luck in August!

Listen, these are amazing -
