Summer Plans

RandolphEsq

I am procrastinating. Have an exam at 9 in the morning. But there is hope . . .

Interrailing in July. Scandanavia, Central and Eastern Europe. Cannot wait. Whilst in Ireland hopefully work and bum around doing all sorts of random stuff!

phreneticus

nice choice, interrailing is the best craic ever - even beats backpacking in asia in my book as I think it's often far too underrated!

arbeitsscheuer

Since I'll be finished UCD I spose I'll be looking for a job pretty quick tbh. Probably apply for Services. Aside from that I have no idea... I'm just looking forward to finally, finally being rid of this godforsaken dissertation!

breadmonkey

I'll be taking the advice of the Coronas, lol

It�s been too long since you sat up straight and wrote down something you know
You wanna leave this life but you�re gonna need somewhere to go
You�re digging a hole dear it�s filled you up and now you�re never quite sure where you stand�I think you need a new plan�.Oh

What will you do for the summer? You�ve got to decide.
As long as you don�t waste another here I don�t mind
Take off your make-up and break up �cause you know it�s safer when you�re young free and single
Grace, don�t wait for the summer to live your life!...Oh

Go away once or twice. Work enough to have some money and just laze about.

It's my last ever Summer off until I'm 65 or whatever so I plan on relaxing and not looking for a "real" job until September.

PennyLane

Six weeks in Menorca with an archaeological field school, then back to the States for good on July 4th (how appropriate, Independence Day). Between then and September, I'll be spending a lot of time in either New York or San Francisco, depending on where my bf decides to work.

inverted_world

Writing my thesis... *sigh*

I am taking a week out at the beginning of July to go to Herrang in Sweden. It's currently all I can think about.

berliner

Head to the American midwest.Watch baseball on the long the summer evenings,drink beer,hold hands with my girl.

princess-sprkle

work a bit, save a lot, bum around a lot.
I'm finished UCD now so i'm gonna make the most of the last long summer of freedom.

New York at the end of the summer, keeping me going through the exams!!:D

snickerpuss

I am writing my thesis (due September 1st) and working. Going away somewhere in the middle. Having a 'YAY finished my thesis' holiday to Paris with one of my mates in September. Then looking for a job, rest of my life etc etc....

Take the summer off and do absolutely nothing structured whatsoever. be somewhere sunny where i feel great and actually feel like gettin outa bed before noon.
trash all plans and expectations and just open up to what the day brings, and whatever new thoughts and directions arise.try to suspend judgement and criticism and all thoughts of what i should and shouldnt be doing, and just open up to long days out and about.
do anything but become another blinkered 9-5 dublinite who believes the petty ratrace to be the holy grail - not looking left or right of themselves as they clod hop from a to b.
so long evenings on the greek islands, Nice, San Remo, corsica, sardinia, the less explored reaches of southern italy and possibly a skip across to Phuket or some other hedonistic spot, where people are connecting with people, and not becoming disconnected from everyting and boasting about how annihilated they were after their umpteenth pint.

fillefatale

Was going to work in Paris, but decided I'll work on improving my french in time for next year. So back home, finding a job, bumming at the beach, saving some money for interrailing next year hopefully and finding somewhere to live for next year!

Stepherunie

Bum around and meet up with people I haven't seen in about 6 months due to college pressures in June.


Graduate June 26th.


Start working for July and August as a radiographer.


Spend the August Bank Holiday in Bristol.


Back to College in September for my masters.
