hey guys so this summer i really did nothing which kinda depresses me… So i decided that i should start planning what I want to do next summer so that I don’t end up in the same situation.

So these are my options that I’ve come up with:

-Volunteer abroad in Latin America through a program. (duration 4-8 weeks)
–Summer programs at Harvard, Brown, etc. because they help with the why _____question. I could also get a recommendation from one of those professors

One of those research programs such as the NIH program or the Cornell nanotech internship.

the last option that I can think of is that I will be starting to work in a lab nearby beginning in the school year. Should I just continue doing more of that during the summer next year? That way I would be able to continue to do some of the voluntary work that I do in the hospital as well as probably go to volunteer in Latin America for 4 weeks, and possibly attend the National Forenscics League Tournament.

What do you guys think? Sorry if it seems like im just rambling on, I just really want your advice.
thanks
