What did you do during your summer from 9th to 10th grade?

I did Algebra II for a little over a month and that was about it. Read and watched a ton of tv. Between 10th and 11th I think I volunteered at the library for a total of 10 hours, then a whole lot of nothing. Then between 11th and 12th I realized that there were people who seriously utilized their summers for intense things like internships, research, and summer programs (honestly, I never knew that before coming to CC). So I joined up and did a free summer program at Carnegie Mellon taking college classes, did a two week local engineering camp, and did a NASA program that allowed me to visit the Houston Space Center.

…Might have gone overboard there in the descriptions. Just trying to make the point that you can do a lot of nothing in your summers as well and still go to college. Although I kinda wish I had done things, cause books and television can get pretty boring. So, yeah. Just have fun during summer. If that means a class and tennis and studying, then go for it.
