So yeah

[SNOOPY*MKP]

well, I didn't pass this schoolyear, which is all my own fault btw, but atleast I learned my ass off the last test-week [actually did more in this year than all my other schoolyears combined] and got better grades then ever but it didn't matter; my average was still very low.

any how, I failed my third year, so I did that twice and then got into my fourth year, which I HAD to pass, or I would be kicked out of school because of regulations. So I'm out of there, and well, next schoolyear I'll be working somewhere till the schoolyear after that one [07/08] and in that year I will follow a program that allows me to do my 2 remaining years in one year

it sucks, because I'm still a year behind

but that's not the reason why I'm posting this, I'm ok with the fact that I won't go to school next year, but my mother insist that I have GOT to go on holiday this summer

which I for one, DO NOT want to go.

first off all, I feel like I don't deserve it [she's been arguaing with me over that, cuz she thinks everyone needs a time off, she's right tho (haven't been on vacation the summer before this one either)]

and second, I want to do stuff this summer which I can't do while I'm on vacation, namely three things;

play my guitar
work on my skateboarding tricks
and get in shape

this may seem worthless things to you, but I feel that I need to do this, so that I've actually accomplished something.

Example; the getting into shape, I've been out of shape all my life, fat and stuff, but I lost 10 kilo's from the beginng of this year, and I really want to get in good shape, it's like a mind thing

for the guitar, well, I want to play live, so I could do something that I really want to do, but first I have to learn how to play descent [I have a one minute thingy if you want to hear]

well, this is it for now, because my computer sucks ass and it can die dowen in like 10 secs

so I'm gonna post this NOW

and answer ye questions later/discuss/whatever

oh, another thing is, what do you think I should do?

First off, don't lose sight of your goal to finish school next year. That little piece of paper can make a definite difference in most job prospects, not to mention the actual learning stuff part.

How long is your mom proposing for the summer vacation? Normally, most folks only take a couple of weeks. That wouldn't hinder any of your other plans - like the getting in shape - you can jog anywhere, and regular calisththenics can be done in your hotel/tent room. Same with the guitar practice. Take your instrument with you, and play whenever you have some time. Might even meet other people along the way who can offer training or a jam session or two.

Even if it's not exactly what you had planned for the summer, you sound pretty lucky to me to have a parent who realizes that relaxation and refreshing of the soul/mind are important, and is willing to pay for it. As you get older, you probably won't be vacationing much with your mom. Try to enjoy it and let her know that it's appreciated.

Thats a Bummer.. Why didn't you go to summer school? I lost credit for my first two classes this year because I was too tired to show up. It doesn't matter, I can make up geometry next year and spanish isn't needed. Good luck getting your two years made up.
