|
|
Yay! It's finally getting warmer again here in Germany and summer's soon to come (hopefully).
So, where are you guys going to spend your summer holidays? Staying at home? Travelling somewhere? Do you have holidays at all?
Well, I'm a student which means I will have looong holidays.
I will probably spend a week in Cornwall / England and a few days in Munich here in Germany, visiting some friends.
How about the rest of you? _________________

I am also a student, but I have no holidays - at least, not for a few weeks yet. It's my own fault, though.
I am currently taking Evidence (required second year lawschool course, with its subject matter kind of obvious at first glance), but it is my only class. The rest of the time I am spending at my job at the archives in the undergrad/grad library here on campus. I worked at the archives as a grad student too, so am going on my second year as the archives assistant. My boss just turned 80 in late May, to boot. Why we even need an archives with him around, I'll never know.
With that said, I'll probably wind up traveling somewhere after summer classes are finished in mid-July. Hopefully not somewhere too hot (I hate summer weather.) _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

Well I just got my first real part-time job, at McDonalds no less, heh, so I'll be working oer the summer, doing some LVI stuff, and hopefully having time to do all the stuff I've put off all over the year. If I actually manage to get that done... welll... wow that will be the first time in my life. That'd be... wow.
As for actual vacations, I'll be scuba diving a good deal with my buddy, and who knows, we may go to Vancouver Island for a bit (heh, you guys probably don't know where that is..). And at the end of the summer I'll be heading to... (MWAHAHAHAHA) The Penny Arcade Expo 2006! to see the Minibosses, play some games, and hopefully get past the first round in the SSBM tournament... heh. I've been there since it began two years ago . (E, you should totally go someday, catch a ride with the East Coast Supertrip bus, heh.) |

Well, I don't mind when it's sunny and warm, but I can't stand it, too, when it's getting too hot.

Sounds exciting!

Course we do!! It's that island next to Vancouver and to the Canadian / American border. Canada has always been one of the countries I always wanted to travel to (apart from New Zealand). I've been in New Zealand, but not in Canada yet. When I was younger I wanted to go to Vancouver in particular cuz that's where they were shooting the X-Files ![](images/smiles/icon_redface.gif) _________________

I have spent the last 11 summers of my life getting up early and going to morning practices at gym. Well, this year we don't have them so I get to sleep in all summer, lol! I'm also taking off from one of my jobs, so this is the first time in a long time that I might actually have a (sorta) real summer. My big trip of the summer, I'm going to Dallas, TX at the end of June for an INXS concert, which I can hardly wait for! _________________ Heather |

Oh my god.... people *actually* come to England for their holidays? I didn't think it was possible.... Wouldn't it be nicer to go somewhere like Greece or Spain? That's where we go ![](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________

I'm going to work, getting some money for my upcoming hockeyseason - I need new stuff, like a new helmet, new neckprotection, etc... so I'm gonna go work 5.30 every morning all weekdays until the middle of July. Then my vacation starts with going to Gotland (island in the Baltic Sea), going to Stockholm (a LOT of times), going to lakes and take a swim with my friends, shopping, lots of training, and the best of everything: 9th of August, when BWO is coming to my town to perform
When do you start school again? Mine starts 21st of August. _________________

Yeah, believe it or not... some people spend their holidays in England
Well, I might spend a week or so in Cornwall because a friend of mine is most likely going to be working there for three months and I want to visit her.
I spent a week in Madrid this February. Nice city, but definitely too big and too loud for me.
And Greece is too hot in the summer time.
Thus, I'll be going to England! ![](images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) _________________

yeah it's pretty fun Though it would be really awesome if we had some tropical waters to dive in here. You go down 100 feet and it's pitch black because of the cloudy water creepy

heheh yep, I'd love to go to England, or anywhere other than mainland North America for that matter . I'd love to see the museums and stuff there, be kinda cool to see anything older than a couple hundred years (and pretty much everything there is, right? ) |

We have a bit of everything, I guess Beautiful nature in countries like Sweden or Finland and heaps of "old stuff" everywhere like castles. A lot of things worth having a look at, especially culture-wise.
Still wanna go to Canada though ![](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________

Looks like it will be nice. I just wanted to go somewhere not alot of people have been. Don't know much about it. Will have to look up stuff on the net
My Dad has always wanted to go. So, when I said I wanted to go, he got a passport sorted. _________________ JACK - Stand up.
