Summer
I have been looking forward to this summer for a long time. It is the time in between the end of my school career and the start of (hopefully) university - a fairly long gap. There are certain things I have been planning to do in this space. These tasks include finishing a certain video game I have been playing for a while, playing some shows with my band and getting my podcast off the ground. I have also been looking forward to simply doing relatively nothing for 2 or 3 months. Now the break is here I am not so sure whether I want to just spend my summer doing not very much, as I can see I will get quite bored.
I am currently looking for a job that will enable me to use my time constructively by earning some money. Also, some income will be necessary to enjoy the summer, which I didn't really consider up until recently. I have realised that many of the things I wish to do this summer will not require me to do nothing for most of the break; a job will be feasible as there will still be space left to complete whatever other tasks I have planned. I am quite a task-oriented person and I see the summer as a time when other commitments are gone, allowing space to enjoy yourself as well as getting things done which might not have been possible before.
I am very grateful for the weather. The sunshine really does make you feel different and often makes things such as walking more enjoyable. By the end of the summer I will have probably had enough sunshine though.
A big event which will occur this summer is the day when I receive my A level results. If I get the grades I need I will be taking Japanese Studies in the autumn at Sheffield University. If I do go to university I may have to start acting slightly more like an adult. I don't fully know what to expect though as many past students say that the work isn't too hard and that it will be the best time of your life (isn't that what they said about being in school?). Even so, I am going to try and enjoy this summer, perhaps my last as a child?
Summer is often the time you remember most as a child I suppose - it's the time when you leave the house and do things. You can stay up late and not worry about the next day, night-time falls later than any other time of the year and you get to wear shorts - it's the time you look forward to for the whole of the year.
Hopefully during this summer I will combine having fun, with a job, with getting done some of the tasks I've been saving up all year, with relaxing.
