Well, I've been up at Camp Pathfinder since July 1. I was sent out on two incredible trips; one was 27 days down the Albany River (the first time my Camp Pathfinder has done this route) and then another 12-day trip through the Temagami area in north Ontario. I can see if I can get the exact routes for these trips later, but for now, all I have is this slideshow of the 27-day Albany River trip.


But enough about what I've been up to. What awesomeness have you guys been doing these past several weeks?

Went to Pennsylvania.

Went to South Carolina.

Transcribing my book/getting ready for NaNoWriMo and school among other things.

Went on a 6-day camping trip. Very hot out, with the heat index reaching up to 106 Fahrenheit. It was fun though.

Spent the Fourth of July week at a lake house at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Spent time with family that I haven't seen in a long time. Swimming, jet-skiing, it was great.

Started a fitness plan to help control my enormous 15 BMI.

I didn't do anything significant.

I read bcb, all 1 chapters of it.

Got a job, got switched from bagging groceries to janitor/cart collection, then moved from that to bakery.
Got my learners permit as well, also got signed up to start college in early September with a current major in engineering, because the community college here doesn't have the classes to major in aerospace engineering.
Not much else other then that, it's been a pretty slow summer for the most part, although if we count other people my Mom has finally gotten out of unemployment with her first job in 2+ years and if things work out we might be able to rent a place if we both help pay for the rent. That is once the company that got her the job stops cutting into her check.

I relaxed and worked. Not too happy that I missed the exhibition, but there's always next year.

Been a pretty dull Summer here.
I didn't plan any vacations, and only took a few one-day trips to the beach or the mountain.
Since I unsubscribed my wow account I had planned to practice a little more on my harp, but then I discovered BCB and I've been spending a lot of my free time drawing fanarts.

In late May, I spent a week in the Catskill Mountains of New York. I visited the site of the Woodstock festival of 1969, and also took a day trip up to Cooperstown to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame. I finished up the trip with three days in NYC, including a Mets game at Citi Field.

At the end of July, I went to Chicago and did the tourist thing (Sears Tower, museums, etc.) Saw a Cubs game at Wrigley Field and went swimming in Lake Michigan. Then I took the train and bus down to St. Louis, toured the Anheuser-Busch brewery and saw a Cardinals game. Man I sure packed a lot into one week.

This year I've added to the number of states visited by 6, not bad. I also missed the exhibition because that was the week I went to Chicago/St. Louis. Oh well.

Otherwise, I've been working and generally being lazy this summer. My sister's wedding will finish off the summer, I guess.

Work and more work. Oh the joys of being an adult.

Didn't take a vacation this summer, but next year I plan to go to Japan so that will make up for this summer.

I worked and worked and worked too.

I'm having a staycation.

*rattles bottle of Vicodin*

-Wrote a guide to the rules of evidence for Mock Trial.
-Memorized half the rules.
-Went to Georgia to visit Georgia Tech.
-Started and beat The Binding of Isaac.
-Wrote a little.
-Went to Texas, played Laser Tag, went hiking, more college visits, went to Six Flags, got introduced to League of Legends and got engrossed in it.
-Finished Grendel.
-Finished Stark Decency.
-Reading Great Expectations.
-Waited/Waiting for someone who disappeared inexplicably, may never come back; trying to learn to cope with the idea that I may never see her again.

It's been... an empty summer, fun distractions aside. Funny how one missing ingredient damages the whole experience so severely. On the bright side, I crave more distractions, so I'm actually looking forward to school.

Stared at wild rabbits as they ate my lawn.

I took some summer classes at my university.

Also I've been sitting in front of my computer a whole lot.

I made a shit ton of pizza, climbed rocks, smoked way too much pot, and hung out with my girlfriend and friends.

And I guess I looked at a lot of cool plants, because my girlfriend and I both enjoy botany.

Also,

Osaka and Tokyo were cool...


OH, WHO AM I KIDDING I MISS MY EXCHANGE FAMILYYYYYYY.

Went to Anime Revolution and got a ballin' metroid hat. Gods I love that hat.

Other than that my summer was full of me working because I don't get summer breaks anymore. So much drawing. So much damn drawing.

I don't feel like I can answer this question because we live in backwardsland so it's been Winter over here. But either way I figure regardless of Summer and Winter I'll be like JHawk ;.; dem sympathies

bookwork is scary and frustrating

Shit, now I feel bad. Both of you can have all my sympathies.

Start donating money to Jhawk and Taeshi for a getaway to Aruba. There, all it is is fucking Summer.

(Taeshi edit: Just fixing my own grammar. I made a pretty awful one, ha)
