Summer

[thecreeper]

i plan on having a very long and unrewarding summer working. i'd love to go abroad but i don't have the finances. at the very least i hope to hit the beach a few times and maybe a return trip to seattle in late summer...

[thecreeper]

also, i still hold out hope on meeting a few of you guys. it's way overdue.

Sorry, maybe in another 8 or 9 years.

Creep, where are you living these days?

I'll be here in Spain. I work until the end of June and then I have the option of continuing work with intensive English courses or camps throughout July, which I will probably do. I plan to work as much as possible to save for a meander around some of Europe in early August. I'm thinking about going to this music festival though if I get the time and money: http://www.rockwerchter.be/en/lineup/index.aspx

I'm also seriously considering taking 1 month to do this 780 mile pilgrimage for fun: http://www.caminodesantiago.me.uk/ not quite camping, but an outdoor adventure to say the least! That would be in late August and early September.

I have to be home in September because my sister in law is having a baby in October! The first of my siblings to have a kid, wow.

Bigs: I do network security for a place called Computer Sciences Corporation. It's a pretty sweet gig, and one I am in no way qualified to do, seeing as how all I have going for me is an MCP, heh.

Raub: Oh yeah? That should be entertaining, maybe we can meet up. I already have obligations to hang with like 3 groups of people, and have a lot of catching up to do since I haven't been there in so long. It's going to be a busy weekend.

Stormy: July 17th through the 19th. You never came and dressed as Malon for me. I was going to be a Goron and we were going to be awesome

Yeah, funny how that Atlantic City "meeting" went, it went awesome!

I'm finishing a rack case for an amplifier and need to build a rather large record book shelf, but then I want to be done with projects this summer. All last summer I built these:

and some other things and ended up not having a lot of time to go out and enjoy life. I'll probably be busy enough with work, hooking friends up with bass, long boarding, and some serious chilling on the balcony with tunes.

Good luck Josh.

I'm graduating college in a week from today, and then who knows what after that. I've thought about moving back to Boston to work at the IT firmed I worked at a few summers ago, but I'd have to discuss that with my girlfriend to see what she wants to do.

I've landed an alright job as a level 1 tech support rep for Kingston Technology. I work 5 to midnight Tuesday through Saturday. The night shift is relatively slow, and the pay is good enough (for me), so it's good enough for now.

Summer, for me, always means camping with my friends, countless cookouts, beer, and just enjoying warm summer days and cool summer nights.

One of the girls in the house I live in just recently moved out, so my girlfriend and I took her room just last night. It works well, because now we have a door that opens up directly to a porch (which we leave open all day now, making great use of the screen door). The plan is to get a relatively decent grill, some lawn furniture, and throw parties 'o plenty this summer.

neil, have you figured out anything about Quebec and Spain? where are you going and when? i'm coming to Canada for a visit in late June, staying about a month. if you're not around during that time, that's a bummer!

johnny's summer: after my current contract ends on June 18th, my organization will fly me home for a bit. after a month-ish of visiting friends and family at home, and taking care of some random things, i'll start a new contract and they'll fly me back. (i probably wouldn't have bothered going back to Canada if i had to pay for the airline tickets..)

Here's a late congrats on the graduation Jesse.
