My summer vacation officially starts in about two weeks, even though school ends on the 15th. This is because I have finals from the 16th until that Friday, and then another final for my History class the week afterwards.

After finals, my parents and I are going to Montreal. Now, I don't think anyone would be surprised to hear that it's mostly because my mother wants to go shopping, but think about this. I'm going to be away from my friends for a number of days. After that trip, they will be WORKING AT CAMP. Epic fucking fail.

I've got a job for the summer, too, and it has good pay. I'm going to be working with computers and some databases at my mom's place of employment, where they make products for handicapped and disabled folks. $10 an hour to do what I do best? Awesome. I can handle the 8 hours a day, and I'm only going to be working for 4 days out of the week, so I'll have time to hang around with some people. The problem is, of course, that nobody will be around. I'd have to go all the way down into New York City to hang out with people. Mind you, my parents don't drive, and I'm not old enough to get my license yet.

I'm going to be entirely honest in saying that only two or three of my friends should actually be working at camp, since they actually NEED the money. Everyone else's families have money coming out of places I'd rather not think about.

On the bright side, there's a lot of things that can be done in NYC. I'm not going to be all, "HURR DURR IMMA TOURIST NYC IS THE BEST LOLOLOLOLOL HURR DURR" since I've spent a good 4/5 of my life there. Now, I don't want to be all whiny about things, because my summer could be worse, but I run out of ideas quickly, and I have the funny feeling that I'm going to be spending my days off completely and entirely bored.

TL;DR: BAWWWWW I have a ton of finals, I'm going to Canada, and this trip will cause me to not see my friends until late August when their jobs end. I'm a workin' man, now, too, but I think I can find ways to keep myself entertained. Still single and all that jazz.

So, my fellow NGers, what are YOUR summer plans?
