To summer class or not to summer class?

That is the question.

I've been thinking about it lately. I only have 4 subjects left until I graduate. I can finish the 2 subjects this summer and then the 2 subjects next sem. But I'm thinking that this summer vacation will be the last summer vacation.

Once I graduate and get a job (assuming I could find one quickly), there won't be anymore summer vacations. I could take leave of absences but those need to be approved by my boss. And for once, I want to really enjoy my summer vacation.

Usually, summer vacation to me is just bumming around the house. But this summer, I want to climb mountains. I'm taking the first step by climbing Mt. Pulag this coming April4-6.

If I can't climb mountains, maybe I can go on roadtrips. I really love taking the bus, so I don't have to worry about gas prices and borrowing the car or something. Maybe I could get to visit exciting places in Luzon.

Or maybe I could actually start and finish my scrapbook. My dad (who really admires me for being a writer) gave me a blank notebook for my 16th bday. He made it all by himself by cutting a leather jacket using it as a cover and bound some papers. I really loved that gift. And I promise to write my life in those pages. I just never got around to doing it since I really think it's precious. When I think something is precious I don't want to touch it. It's like I don't want to mess it up by using it. So, maybe I could get the courage to use it this summer.

I could also concentrate on my health. I should try to get more fit and healthy. I should also read all of my stand-by books (books I bought but never got around to reading) or concentrate on improving my photography or guitar skills.

Or I could learn Photoshop and Video-editing because I really really really want to learn ever since highschool.

But having my summer vacation means responsibilities. I have to make sure that even if I'm going to have my vacation, I have to start on my thesis. I have to make sure that I get all research done by the end of June since I'm going to take 3 more classes next sem.

I really want to enjoy my summer. Maybe I should stay home and forget about my academic adventures for once. I have so much stuff to do with so little time.

It's my last summer vacation, I should enjoy it right?
