The super summer list of things to do
Written by Annie on June 23rd, 2009I’m a dork and I can be lame, but I refuse to let summer pass with no accomplishments and/or funny stories. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I AM DONE EXAMS. And I received my gr 10 piano exam mark, a beautiful 74 and more importantly A PASS.
Anyway, here goes, and I’m just writing in the order that I think of them, so they’re not in order of importance or anything official like that.
1. Learn to solve a Rubiks cube. And discover my inner dorkiness.
2. Take lots of pictures with a digital camera and print them out and put them up (I’ve been so inspired by my black and white film photography class, it was so fun and I love darkrooms …. but digital is so much easier)
3. Watch Snakes on a Plane
4. Volunteer somewhere
5. Make some money doing something cool
6. Go downtown and participate in one of those fun looking festivals
7. Write an editorial for the local newspaper. Or more like, keep writing editorials until one actually gets published and I see my name in the paper 
8. Write a letter
9. Learn more piano pieces, especially Chopin’s Nocturne No. 1, of which the first dozen bars is the most beautiful thing ever
10. Do yoga at Lululemon. I really want to see how that works, do they clear the area and set up mats?
11. Break into my new black heels, so that when I actually need to wear them for long hours, it won’t be as painful
12. Learn to play the guitar. Or at least a few songs?
13. Stop eating ice cream and muffins and danishes every fucking day.
14. Make some new friends! <- this is really important, I’ve been really aloof and stuck in a bubble this past year
15. Get to know Toronto <- this is important too, I need to discover more of my own city
16. Don’t eat for 24 hours then go to all you can eat sushi.
I think that’s it for now. That should occupy me for a while. This summer’s going to be great

Go summer! And well done to your exams, thank goodness they’re over eh?
Write a letter - easy, get a pen pal!
Make new friends … hmm, that good go joint with get a fun job! Sometimes the people you work with stay with you. You know, I’m still good friends with folk I’ve worked with in a chocolate shop
And number 16 I’ve stolen, sorry. It was just too good an idea!

When I finished my last exam I sort of slammed down my pencil a little too loudly, but it felt so good!
It’s funny you mention a chocolate shop, Olivia, because I happen to have applied for a job at a chocolate shop today
And a whole bunch of other places.
