My Summer

As you can tell, summer is coming to an end. School will be starting in less than a week. For everyone, school starting back is horrible. I wouldn't be so bad if your summer was marvelous or just simply satisfying. By enjoying, I mean traveling places, hanging out with friends, stay home and relax, and NO SUMMER SCHOOL. That would be a perfect summer, but unfortunately, that only exist in my dream.

My summer was not the best that it could possibly be. Summer is always two months. How long is school? Eight months? Nine months? That's like four times the summer. So what I really think is that summer should be free of work. It should be full of relaxation and pure fun. Sending your child to school is definitely not the rightful thing to do in the summer. That was exactly how the beginning of my summer went. My mom shipped me off to summer class. I spent a full month, my whole July, on a math class. I could have used that full month, which was half of my summer, to play video games or hang out with friends. For educational purposes, that might be good. But I have got nine months of education already. The summer is the time where I take time off. With the math summer school, I couldn't enjoy the first half of my summer.

When I finally finished the summer school, it was already August 2nd. Did I mention that I have a piano exam on August 14th? For the whole first half of summer, I got stuck with a math class. For half of August, I got stuck practicing for the piano exam. That was like one and a half of my summer gone. Gone in the trash because of two things that I thought shouldn't happen during the summer. That was why I felt so relieved when I took the exam. Two months of practice all came down to ten minutes in the exam room. After the exam, I got three full days off, which mean only video games. No piano, no work, nothing like that. Just video games. After my three days up in the cloud, I finally returned to earth. I had to read and take swimming classes after three days in paradise. I had to go the wedding of my friend's cousin, but that was great. I love it. After the wedding, we took three camping trips with our friends. One was to Capilano. Another was to Mission, B.C. And the last one was to Cultus Lake, Chilliwack. So as you can tell, August went way better than July. It's not even a close competition.

My summer did not go the way I expected it to be, but you can't change it now. School starts in six days, and when that comes, I would hear people yakking about there fabulous summer, and I'll just silently slip past them. Well, I just have to enjoy what's left of the two months summer.
