What does working related/not_related to your study mean? Many of us are working and aren't studying.
Personally I'm taking classes since I'm off from work for the next couple of months.
Gonna travel a bit and play games once my hand/wrist is in good order.
|
Mix of everything! :D
Chilling for the first part, then off to some Governor School classes for 3 weeks, then (perhaps) a small internship on the other side of the country.
|
Working for two more weeks, after then mostly chilling and playing Starcraft II.

Most likely if you're studying something like customer service, you are working in a customer service company or doing it somehow.
|
school for 7 hours a day.
|
I have a no friends so nothing social I suppose.
A casino near by is adding table games i.e. poker in the middle of this month so I might spend my time there. Right now they only have slot machines.

Working related to your studies is like interning or doing some field work towards your job or future job.
Working unrelated to your studies would be just doing something random unrelated.
Its more directed towards college students who intern or just take regular student jobs.

Tennis (working at the club)!
Also way too much TL.
And reading books, lots of books.
Prepping for college o\
And reviewing stuff from high school so I don't forget it all in a heartbeat.
|
Aside from getting my drivers license, I'm going to smoke a bunch of weed. Going to be a good summer.
|
|
|
I want to find me a job (yeah I know late... Got to find some people to pull some strings).
Hang out with the bros a bunch of times before we go to different Unis and stuff.
Besides that, work out and get a girlfriend (I think 2-3 years is long enough a vacation from relationships).
|
|
|
I'm doing research so I can actually start writing my thesis.
|
I am just working this summer. Nothing special planned, other than playing sc2.
|
Doing research at the NIH

|
Sitting infront of my computer playing games, this heat is fucking horrible on my nerd body T_T
|
Tutoring for money, volunteering, working out, and going to Japan. Besides that just chillaxing, playing Starcraft and hanging with friends.
|

|
Relaxing before college starts.
|
Taking some summer classes and trying to find a part time or temp job on campus. I was going to just stay at home, but am glad that I'm taking classes instead since I would be nothing but sitting around instead of doing something productive.
|
Working at The Beach Waterpark, relaxing and hanging out with friends, starcraft 2, getting better with photoshop and enjoying my last summer before I graduate high school.
|
I have to stop hanging out here... you guys make me feel so old, lol. This summer is work, because work doesn't have summer breaks T-T I haven't had a summer break since undergrad, and I was finishing that back when the MSL was the KPGA and Boxer was winning his first title. Enjoy your summers while you have them. ^^
|
Cleaning my room and prepping it for paint...Then gonna paint it. A nice natural brown for the trim and a tan-ish yellow for the walls. Gonna invest in a nice mouse, keyboard and mouse-pad, and hopefully have everything set before sc2 comes out.
Also gonna repaint my computer desk so its sexy enough to play on when I get my hands on that game.
Also filed for graduation and hopefully can get an internship by the fall, but not as important as getting my room ready for some sweet gaming hours. :D
|
I've been doing my internship at the Department of Water Resources in California and studying for my first actuarial exam! FUN!
|
Going through my the lectures for my courses in the fall and the first poll option
|
Sleeping. A lot. Catching up on modding, modeling, hopefully making significant progress on my novel. I don't work or anything like that, so that's pretty much it.
|
I have about 30 hours of class every week. Pretty awesome summer. :/
|
Well, it'll be fireworks tomorrow!
And just fireworks. Us good Asians don't get to get the good stuffs.
Excited about a trip to California though.

Taking summer classes, trying to get a research internship here at the school, hopefully playing SC2.

heh, yep. Last summer was my final summer break before graduating college. I made the most of it by not getting a job and being lazy all day playing video games. Now I have a full time job so I'll just be doing that (and playing games after work obviously).

Chillaxing on SC:BW/SC @ b.net. Relaxing and hoping that I will one day be blessed with genius to make something that teaches u a whole school day in 2 hours(or something like that) so I barely have to go to school. ^^ Dreaming, taking care of my pets, going on TL.net, basically doing nothing but playing SC:BW/ doing SC related things cause there is nothing better to do than play SC!!!

Finish my Japanese classes, probably head up to Tokyo and visit friends, maybe go to Summer Sonic in Osaka, chill with friends and basically just enjoy the summer in Japan as much as possible before heading back to Sweden.
|
My life's boring. Just work. Hopefully that will change soon.

Many camping trips this summer.

I get three weeks. My last job had five. I love my work, really, and I didn't take my five weeks when I had them, to be honest. Too busy.

Freezing my ass off on the flip side of the world.
|
I'm trying to find a job to pay for school. Its a hassle and I've come to a crossroads in life. I think I need to work and go to school later because I can't afford to have the randomness of life throw me a curveball like it is this summer.
|

I'm interning in a more or less 9-5 job. It's not terribly interesting, but at least the pay's decent for a student. And it sure beats my friend who pretty much just spends his time breaking mouse femurs and extracting the marrow.
|
Visiting Scotland and chillaxing.
|
sleeping till 3pm, go out with frs, play sc2.
|
Waiting for SC2.
Buying SC2.
Playing SC2.

The summer before university was the most amazing summer of nothing ever. I suggest you enjoy leisure then because it won't come around for a while.
|

playing soccer, working out/jogging, and this.

I will be working the whole summer. Will be free on weekends tho

Training like a madman for the next biathlon season, trying to make some money somehow, and playing SC2 when it comes out.
