Summer Approaches

Posted by Archawn - April 10th, 2011


It's been quite a while since I've opened Flash, and even longer since I've made decent progress on anything I'm working on.

Too much of my time has been used up for robotics (However, it is the most fun I've had in a while) My team ranked second in the state competition yesterday, and we're going to nationals in two weeks. It doesn't look like I'll be doing much programming that isn't related to robotics for a while.

And then, of course, there's homework--I can hardly stand it any more, especially knowing that nothing I'm learning is going to actually help me later in life, aside from my math and science courses.

But this morning I opened my window and a warm breeze rolled in from outside and for a few seconds that "summer feeling" came over me. It's so close, it's unbearable.

In the summer I won't have to worry about school or robotics. I'll just do whatever the hell I want for a full three months.

Then again, I'm taking summer gym--a month of gym, six hours a day, every day, just to earn those silly credits for such a useless class.

But still, that's two months left.

An old friend of mine who moved away a few years ago will be coming back to visit for a week in June. That'll be fun.

And hopefully another friend of mine will fly up for a few weeks--someone I've never actually met in person but who has become one of my closest friends in the two years that I've known him.

And then there's all that time left for programming, biking, swimming, friends, relaxation, drawing, piano, etc.--wasting time away, enjoying that small period of time during the year where nothing else in the world matters but simply having fun.

This summer is going to be amazing.

@EJR WORD!

Looks like you need to change your user images.

lol nice new pic

I feel the same way.

But what's closer is spring vacation, which is after these 5 days of school coming up. So I'm more excited for that.

Spring break for me was this past week--unfortunately I was sick for the first half and the second half was taken up by robotics and various other activities. No time to myself.

FRC robotics 2011? I'm in there. B)

Nice. See you there?

Perfecto. I actually didn't know a Newgrounds person would be on there at all lol. Yes I will see you there :p

Coolio

I couldn't have said it better. Here's to summer.

Cheers!

It looks like English has been slightly useful for you as well because your writing skills are way beyond that of most 15 year old's. Unless of course you had some inherent skill in writing to begin with. Either way, I wish younger people wrote like you more often.

Why did you change your picture?

Because I made snow-themed icons and realized it isn't winter anymore.
