The Results Are In...

...And my first summer of being a complete slacker was an ill-chosen one. to be sure it rarely pays to slack, but when your summer to-do list includes:

• painting a 3'x4' acrylic landscape for my mom in a style and color scheme I rarely use
• finishing a watercolor of part of my house which includes trying to remedy the mistakes I made when I wanted to finish it in two days and was unsuccessful
• reading a 50-page French comic book and doing a 10-page packet on it (I can understand the comic just fine, but I can't understand what half the questions the teacher is asking even mean)
• reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Grapes of Wrath, which would be fantastic if I didn't have to do so much writing for both of them
• completely redesigning a 30'x90' elementary school courtyard and planning how/when to tear it all down, carry-out the new plans, get the needed materials, and find enough workers
• helping get a girls' accountability group off the ground
• getting my DnD character ready for Red Hand of Doom
• coming up with a design for a class t-shirt when I really have no idea what to do considering how much my interests deviate from those of most of my classmates
• outlining as many chapters of my AP Biology book as possible because we have to have all 50-some outlined by the test in May
• and getting my drivers license which involves taking drivers' ed, in-car class hours, and finishing my 50 hours with my temps.
  

Add things such as CIY (even though it was fantastic), two family vacations, and various other commitments, and I chose the worst summer to try out being a slacker. Out of that entire list, I've finished all the reading a writing for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and I've done 9 chapters of my biology book. I've at least started all of them except for finishing the watercolor painting, but I've still got a boatload of stuff to finish in 10 days. Let's hope I've learned my lesson.
