Summer Goals

It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards. - Lewis Carroll

I have deleted my fugly-written blog entries, which became published because I was bored. As a result, I now realize that I must really do something this summer that will, firstly, make me sane again and secondly, make my blog entries, and summer in general, a lot more substantial and less forced.

That's why I've decided to organize (SHUT UP) my goals for the summer.

1. Review for college entrance exams. I'm not going to take review classes because my parents are violently against them, and anyway it's too late to register now, but I will be studying using the review books or whatever they're called.

2. Finish at least two more novels for the summer. I promised myself that this summer, I will read more and I am. So far I've finished Skylight Confessions, Remember Me?, and The Lovely Bones; right now I'm reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter, and hopefully I get to read Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice—I've been planning to read an English classic.

3. Watch more movies. HAHA. It's summer, okay? I can do whatever I want. 8D I really want to see those classic movies from the eighties/nineties era like GoodFellas and Raging Bull. (I tried to see The Godfather series, but I was so sleepy it was past midnight.) Hopefully I'll get around to watching the present/upcoming movies too because I really want to see Earth, Duplicity, 17 Again (ahaha), The Soloist, etc.

4. Cook. This will sound weird, but I just want to cook at least something for the summer. I want to learn/do something new. So far I have these pretty good-sounding recipes from Ellie Krieger. Hope that all goes well.

5. Learn a new language. Preferably, Italian. Since I'm not taking review classes then I might as well take up some extracurricular affair. Hopefully there are still those summer workshops/classes and I'm not too late to enroll. If I am, then there is the gym (damn you parents!) and maybe there's some random job I can do, if I find any.

6. Finish learning the Canon and practice more. This, I really need to work on. xD My piano classes have just been getting so blah lately, but I am practicing the Canon a lot. I just hope to finish the whole 11-page piece soon. D:

7. Go somewheeere. I can't do a lot about this, but I just want to go somewhere summer-y! And not just one-day or overnight stays (which are so lame by the way). I want to go to Boracay or Palawan or somewhere. It's fucking vacation for Chrissake.
