Summer Break 2012!

I'm not sure about the other places in the world, but America is Summer breakin' it up! What are your plans this summer? Anything big? I know I'll be craftin' that's for sure!

I'm not on break. I'm having a particularly difficult time in school lately, so I'm behind. I may or may not get a summer break this year.

As of right now i'm on my way to Texas.Gonna hit Arlen!Dammit Bobby!

What grade are you in?

Just finishing up 11th. Almost a Senior.

Edit: Dear Lord, I keep forgetting that my signature shade of purple is nearly unreadable on here.

ooh, me too.

i sure don't have any plans, but people keep coming over my house every day and it sucks :<
i'm getting no free/alone time.

I've been Chillen Like A Villain and its been awesome. I've done stuff everyday that i've been on break, Which is a real change from my normal anti-social self. This summer looks like its gonna be a good one. Cant wait for band camp

I wish people actually had the ability to get to my house easily in the first place. :c

Our break starts in two weeks and goes for two weeks. When you're on break, two weeks is an incredibly short time.

That sucks! Not trying to rub it in your face or anything, but we have 3 months off.. Australia can be a big downer sometimes..

i agree with justin. two weeks is hardly a break. do you get a lot of random days off throughout the year or something?

This year hasn't really been "my year" in any sense of the phrase. Because of the demand for my language of choice (Latin), I had to wait an extra 3 months to just get in to the class. Once there, I started having trouble understanding. So even for the fact that I started it late, I'm behind. I still haven't finished Math from earlier this year, I have 1 more test in science, I have a ton of Latin to do, and I haven't finished English. This upcoming year is going to be ripping-out-my-hairs-and-watching-in-horror-as-they-come-back-in-grey stressful.

well, umm... good luck with all of that. you're most definitely gonna need it.

Wait, what Latin? That sounds really difficult! :O

Also, I'm extremely excited for this year's band camp.Considering making a topic just cuz

And... Australian spiders.

What do you mean "what Latin?" Just plain Latin.

It's not too difficult vocabulary-wise, but the grammar is a bit hard for me to grasp.

I mean't "Why Latin?" Lol my bad

Oh, okay. That makes more sense.

Really, it seemed like an interesting language. Greek and Latin together make up 60% of the English dictionary, and the same goes for a lot of the other popular languages like French, Spanish, etc. So if I ever want to learn another language this will make it easier. It helps with vocabulary, too.

Sounds extremely challenging.

Australian school system goes as such. Terms go for 10 weeks each on average.
First term. (starts in February)
Two week break.
Second term.
Two week break.
Third term.
Two week break.
Fourth term. (ends in December)
Six-week summer break. (year 11 (me) and 12 get a few extra weeks on top of this.)

At our school, the only foreign languages we can learn are Indonesian and Japanese, which sucks. If German or another European language was offered, I'd take it up for sure.

I wish I could go on band camps. :c

That sounds like a really weird schedule! Do you guys have a band?

You should definitely learn Indonesian or Japanese just so you can skype us and scream violently.

LOL, that's so random.

Learn Japense and just Kamakazi in Minecraft.

We have a couple of bands. If you learn any instrument through the school (except guitar) you have to be in a band. If you learn guitar, you have the option to be in rock band. Although the music/band atmosphere at my school is pretty cool, I don't particularly want to learn anything through the school. :p

I learned some Indonesian in years 7 and 8 and promptly forgot it. :p

Lolwat.I can see it now.Justin screaming at kid on skype in Indonesian.I'd pay to see that.

Actually just yesterday I was screaming at Justin in my pretend indonesian speak lolol.
