Hey I have an idea! Get out of the house and off the computer. Hike! Swim! Bike!
There is TONS of stuff you can do outdoors. To be honest, it's much more fun than sitting inside learning how to program stuff! Last year I learned to water ski with the help of my uncle, and it was incredibly fun. I now look forward to heading upstate to do it! Doing stuff outside like that is really fun, especially with a friend or relative. It lets you bond. It also gives you something to look forward to doing next summer!
I have a few things I look forward to doing this summer.
Some of them being:
Swim in the moonlight at Lake Champlain
Cliff Diving
Rowboat to island in Lake Champlain
White water rafting with best friend and dad
Meeting a friend from New York City @ County Fair
Take train [alone] up to Lake Champlain.
Water skiing!
Walking train tracks @ Lake Champlain
Swimming

I love using my mac and stuff like that don't get me wrong, but taking advantage of the beautiful weather outside is much more fun. I know when I'm old enough to work, I'll be saving up for a nice pair of water ski's, or maybe a nice new mountain bike. So really what I'm saying is, get out! go enjoy the weather while it lasts. Get a hobby like water skiing, surfing, fishing, biking, hiking, going on adventures. You can't do all this stuff in the winter.
On another note, Thursday is my last day of school. 8th grade next year!
