Posted July 3, 2007 I plan to make a bit of a start of the book im trying to write, its not very good, so far ive done a couple of side chapters, dealing with events that set the main story going. outher then that waste of time, im trying to find a job, get some research done so I have a good start for my 10,000 word research project next year at uni, i've got a couple of books to read, and I need to find a good katana in the region of £150 to buy myself for my 21st before next year incase the proposed ban comes in, making sword collecting very dificult and expensive.

Posted July 3, 2007 Good thread... I remember chatting to one of my friends at college about the summer and this is what my aims for the summer were: -Get a job -Learn to drive -Have fun Finding a job was definitely the most hardest thing to do but I was lucky and have got a job in a hotel, £6 per hour aint bad for a student. Learning to drive.....meh, not too sure. Got my provisional, just need to sort out lessons etc. Might concentrate on my new job than booking expensive driving lessons.....for now. So overall, things are goin well. My new job is fuckin hard, but I'm just thinking of the money at the end of the day which will make it all worthwhile.

Posted July 3, 2007 Uh, just get a job. And a Wii. Still haven't bloomin' got one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2007 Continue learning to drive. Eventually take my tests. Gets me a car. Go to the gym. Listen to the Japanese tapes I've had for months. Watch a hell of a lot of anime, and download even more. Continuing from that I'll no doubt have to purchase another external HDD. Get a job. Play games. Go back to Wind Waker maybe, start Battalion Wars and get into it, play F-Zero, get Tale of Symphonia, get Ouendan, get Pokemon, get Elite Beat Agents from America and EU if the songs are different. Too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2007 well i spent the first week of my holiday looking for a job, which i now have, albeit £4.50 an hour in a chemists. its 9 to 5 monday to friday then saturdays i play cricket so ill have no time to go anywhere or see anyone or spend my money other than saturday night! I cant even watch anything or download anything as the only computer on the net at my mums is my step dads laptop and you have to roll out a cable to the phone point to go on the net. I hate old houses with only one phone point in them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2007 I *should* have been working this summer. I had two jobs that were supposed to be certain for me, but I guess it just doesn't work out like that sometimes. So now I'm mostly just hanging out... If I have any goals for the summer, they'd be getting ready to start a new year in a new educational faculty, getting books and whatnot, finetuning my schedules... And, of course, random gaming, but that's hardly a goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2007 Go out with friends as much as possible spending the least amount of money possible in the process. I want to get another job too, I'm only doing 12 hours a week at the moment and not really doing much else. I've been looking into swimming teaching, but the course to get the qualification costs £210. I might be able to get a grant to help pay for that though. Develop a few sites for a few Nintendo related domain names that I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2007 Console myself that its only another year of living in this shit hole. Edit: That came out far more emo then I intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2007 Go out with friends as much as possible spending the least amount of money possible in the process. I need help with this one, its not easy. So far, go to Thorpe Park, fuck, there goes £35 Ah well, at least the cinema is cheaper, bums £5 for two hours amusement. Football in the park, bah its always been raining. Playing videogames in the house with buddies seems the cheapest, but you can't do that every day. What do people on here do with friends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2007 My goals are to: -Keep my job until I go back to college, easier said than done because I'm really not patient enough to work in retail. -Celebrate my birthday in style. -Sorting out my grant for college. -Make some sort of an effort towards learning how to drive.
