Aren't you tired of these summer titles and themes?

Note: This is really just for my personal reference.

Cuz I sure am.... Yes yes summer is awesome, summer is relaxing, summer is the much wanted time to do the things we didnt have the time to do. But its sort of going into overkill right now. 2 long streched out months do not sit well with me, and knowing that I have to go through ANOTHER one...*gasp.

So basically, just like my last summer (of '06), I made a list of things that I wanted to do with my time-
1. Figure out what to do with summer
2. Learn about raising rabbits
yea, I had a rabbit phase where I wanted one for the upcoming year, but it turns out that they are very high maintenance (much like....*stare at ceiling). Also, turns out they're serial pooping machines (case of diarrhea?)
3. Play lots of video games
And boy have I been successful. From finishing Heroes V: TotE, to a brief Runescape affair and now to my 
neverending lust for Warcraft. I've returned to my childhood hobby that I love love love.
4. Find a Summer Job
Earn alittle bit of extra cash, forwarding my summer'09 europe cause. Turns out I'm occupationally undesired. Its illegal for me to work in Brunei (illegal screams uptight parents) and my little stint with Singaporean Biotech companies failed. As of now, I just hope I'll be employable when I return to ohio.
5. Become an Accountant, budget!
So 2007-8 wasn't excatly the most fiscally wonderful year. I managed to overspend by a thousand (yes a thousand) dollars. No thanks to online shopping and pub outings. So basically, I took the time to budget my future expenses, count my previous quarter expenditures. Lesson I learnt? I overspend on food.
6. Future my Europe Summer'09 Campaign
Im due for another trip to some exotic location (think Cambodia trip times 5- a realistic number as apposed to a million). So currently, Im planning Ireland, England, Belgium (possibly) and most importantly, The Netherlands (think Coffee Shops). Currently, this campaign is poorly funded (and when i say poorly funded, I mean, there isnt one) and it doesn't help that transatantic flights have crazily expensive (with the exception of Aerlingus which flies into Ireland for around $500 return). Hopefully, I'll hook some friends into going with me and I'll meet up with some friends in England.
7. Clean up iTunes library
Basically 5 hours of artwork addage and tag corrections.
8. Learn to Drive and Cook
I can drive now! No licence, but the ability to drive is always there now and I'm pretty excited about it. Possibly getting my Ohio-an licence this fall. My cooking ability isnt great, but at least I know I can fix something up when I need to.
9. Become more employable
Upgrade my CV, fill in more accomplishments (and at least I have some)
10. Love the tests
Considered the ACTs which I am no longer doing, however, the GRE is in my future at some point
11. Interior Decorate!
I compiled a list of Ikea (gotta love the Ikea) furniture that I will get when I move into my new place in September and planned out everything in my bedroom. Im going bold with the standing clothes rack instead of an actual dresser and Im going with this awesome desk with lots of compartments. Its going to be...awesme. (and expensive)
