Things to do during the Summer

This is a list of things I can do during the summer if I ever find myself bored or wanting to do something fulfilling.

1.Choose atleast one written type of source to document what your summer experience. It could be through online blogsites, journal, diary, or a saved document. In addition, be sure to take a picture of anything and write about it or make a note even if it is the most random thing. Make a Summer Scrapbook & collage.
2. Look at pictures taken from the digital camera and old cameras and do something with them. Do a collage, poster, or something creative.
3. Choose one of the summer challenge/wellness goals.

7. Pick a topic that you are interested and become a master in it.
8. Learn how to play any kind of instrument.

Accomplishment

This Friday I did a couple of things that I been meaning to do and I just concentrated on completing those tasks. After I had finished doing them and in a faster time and manner than anticipated, I feel quite happy. I like doing things and finishing them. It relieves me from pressure. I would not have to worry about finishing it in the future or eventually not getting it done. One of the things that I did was that I applied for a internship for one of the Assembly Members. I have not heard back yet, but I am still glad that I got as far as submitting my application. I like this feeling of accomplishment and will try to do more things.

Planning ahead

Today, I began developing my summer plan and it is going very well. I already have so many ideas. There is so much I want to do or think I should do. It will be quite a interesting and productive summer. I probably wont finish the list as early as I hope, but earlier than summer for sure. Gosh, I really do love planning ahead.
