Summer: Done

This time tomorrow, I will be eating my lunch on my first day as a sixth former. On Thursday, I will have my first full day of lessons since 23rd May, over 100 days previously. Back in June, I posted this list of things I could do over the summer, and now that the season is ending, I feel it's time for a "Things I actually did over summer" post...

Things I actually did over the summer

1. Listened to two albums in their entirety: 8:09 by Joey McIntyre on August 9th and How The Mighty Fall by Mark Owen on the 27th. I was also "treated" to The Midsummer Station by Owl City, courtesy of my sister.
2. Watched at least 60 episodes of NCIS (actually, it's probably nearer 70+, as I watched About Face four times in the past three days)
3. Rekindled my character ideas, which were originally based on watching a few minutes of Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue when I was much younger. I also drew a character and created more.
4. Met up with friends a few times, this included three birthday parties, a trip to two parks and going to the seaside with my sister and some of her friends.
5. Created many roller coasters on RCT3
6. Had a great time in Derbyshire
7. Set up an Animal Crossing blog, purchased a second Wild World game and created an account on Animal Crossing Community
8. Saw two films at the cinema, Ted and Chernobyl Diaries
9. Completed the 25 Day iPod Challenge on here
10. Ate ketchup flavoured crisps dipped in ketchup!
11. Oh, and I've done a little preparation for my A-level subjects

Things I could do over the summer

With around 77 days till I return to school, I really need to find some things to spend time on over the longest summer of my life. Some of these suggestions just might make the cut!

1. Listen to an album every day - there are more than enough in my house
2. Learn some Estonian - I already know "Kuula" means "listen" thanks to this
3. Have a Blue Bloods day - we only own the first season on DVD, but that's still 15 hours and 1 minute
4. Dance - We have all three main Just Dance games, and even without the wii I still enjoy moving to music
5. Draw - I haven't done it in a while, but maybe I can hone my artistic skills?
6. Write - I have many juvenile, unfinished ideas for novels; maybe I can will them closer to completeness?
7. Swot up on my A-level subject choices - might be the most useful suggestion on this list
8. Improve my writing with my right hand - it might be useful to have two hands to write with
9. Meet up with friends - I suppose going outside a bit wouldn't hurt
10. Blog, tweet, tumble etc.!

EDIT: 21:37 I just thought of another one:

   11. Dip ketchup flavoured crisps into ketchup, and eat
