Summer is Just Around the Corner!

It’s been just over a week since my last exam and it’s been so refreshing to have some spare time for a change. The semester just gone sure did have its moments of stress, and at times I wondered how I’d ever make it through to the end. Thankfully I survived three exams and, fingers crossed, hopefully I managed to pass them as well. Now that I have three and a half months off before uni starts again next year, it’s that time of the year to plan what I want to achieve over the summer break. So straight off the top of my head, let’s see what I can think of:

• Finish all the video projects I had to put on hold
• Start cycling again; go to the gym regularly
• Sort out all my paperwork from uni this year
• look into setting up a green screen studio
• find a summer job for engineering
• revise everything I learned this year at uni

Summer is just around the corner so don’t let it pass by without achieving what you set out to do! Hopefully I can listen to my own advice!

Goals For Summer

Sitting at home all day with nothing to do got me thinking… I thought I should probably come up with some goals for summer so that I’m not completely bored with nothing to do every day!

I might add to this list as I go on, but here are a few things on my summer to-do list for starters:

• do something physical outside every day.
• motivate myself to go to the gym regularly while I’m not at uni.
• keep my blog/website updated.
• prepare for next year’s courses in January.
• make an effort to meet up with friends.
• wake up in the morning before 9am (or maybe 10…).
• do some maintenance around the house.
• upload some more Youtube videos!
• sort out all the random stuff wasting space on my computer.
• read some fiction books!

That’s all I can think of at the moment, but I’m sure there will be more things that will come to me later on.
