How are you spending your summer?

<div class="IPBDescription">Work? travel? glued to the pc awaitin ns</div>I thought this might be an interesting thread to start just to see what everyone is doing.  i am sure that NS is an important part of all our summers; i refused a job that would've kept me away from a computer the whole summer ~:)

so, what i am doing:
-working for the university on a forest fragmentation research project which involves data management and field work.  essentially i get to spend my time in town entering data and a bunch of time in boreal forests (logged and unlogged) watching birds and drinking beer.
biology is the shiznat ~;)
-i may travel in august, especially if there is a certain LAN party happening in the states.  and of course i'll be taking the numerous necessary summer roadtrips to concerts/raves/etc.
-the only other event of my summer is my predicted incessant pining for my girlfriend who just left to go tree planting and will be isolated from all communication... which will surely drive me mad

i eagerly await to hear what you guys are up to.  and i expect only one answer from the dev team: 'working on NS' ~;D

    I will probably be working at the city´s "teenage-summerwork". some ppl like to call it "the daycare for teenagers" and I understand why, but you never earn much money there so I hope to get some better job.
    and of course, playing natural-selection

    Hehehe.  My parents think they're going to make me get a job when I go home for the summer.

    They're probably going to win.  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    Mapping. Mapping, mapping, mapping, mapping, story design and project development, mapping, mapping, and maybe paid mapping. Oh, yeah, and drumming, drumming, drumming, and more drumming (have to not suck by drumline camp in the fall -- a bunch more DCI guys coming in next year).

    My story's pretty close to Greedo's.  Ah well, I suppose a job would beat hogging the computer 24/7, right....?  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    aaaaaah, i'm looking forward to the summer vacations soooo much!
    I'm getting a new comp, i'm a minor, and I get decent grades at school.
    NOTHING can go wrong, I mean, my parents got nothing to complaint about, I'm too young to get a job, I've got my dsl and new comp.
    And offcourse... A shitload of money to buy energy drinks to keep me awake on those looong nights.
    muahahahaha, I've got it all planned out, nothing will stand in my way! (unless the weather is so good I get thrown out of the house)

    DAMN YOU MOTHER NATURE!

    I'm going to be living with my girlfriend in New Haven... first time I've ever lived with a girlfriend!  Gonna be the best man in my friends' wedding, and maybe go out to Cali to see another friend's graduation.

    Well I don't think I'll be working on NS all summer.  The first version should be out soon enough to prevent that.

    I'll be playing speed chess outside in the sun, doing a little dancing and clubbing, and quite a bit of programming (of course&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->.  I'll probably also be planning life after NS, whatever that may entail (it could just be more NS, or a new project or job).

    I am getting a job at a grocery store or a local pizza shop.  I will probably spend more time on my comp during summer becuase my paintball teammate is gone.  I will still play - and Fam - I will come to the UK to play with you <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->  My summers are nothing special... work..computer..paintball.. infact - that is pretty much my life.

    Joy.

    Why, Flayra, you know you'll be contributing code to NightWatch by the time the summer gets rolling, right?
