Not much either. I interned at a game company, took a full semesters worth of classes and still managed to find time to play a ridiculous amount of Counter-Strike.
Work, work, work :(
Oh, and Lego Land for a day :)
I've been working at a cool ice cream joint; also, flirting and dating some of the fountain girls. I play volleyball twice a week in a church league. I had senior week at the beginning of my summer. I also had freshman orientation.
Yeah, that's most of my summer.
Workin on my thesis :(
God, I can't wait till this is finished.
Thesis for? Care to expand on that?Quote:

i went to florida for a week, coded a battle system in segments, and spent pretty much all my time with my gf...
I did so much stuff its unbelievable.
- gone to the pool like 15 times
- coded on my game, programming language, and did several web sites
- found too much time to play bz2, founded my own clan with my friend, got *extremely* good at the game
- my mom went out for two weeks abroad so we had fun at home :p
- went kayaking 6 times (oh the stories...)
- drove a motor boat
- did racketball twice
- hiked twice, mountain biked
- went to six flags
- went to kennywood (theme park)
- went to philladelphia for two nights
- went to erie for a night
- bought a mini-disc player
- my grandma came over for 2 weeks
- did training (weights, crunches)
- hanged around with buddies at the pool
- ...and much more for just four easy payments of $19.95!
Its been fun! Yet I can't wait to get back to school. I might sound wierd but I think its actually fun if you take away all the repetitive, senseless work (some of it is fun though). I agree, 60% of the time I was sitting on my arse in front of my computer. It gets boring...
I went to Glastonbury Festival, saw REM in Manchester. I'm going to see Radiohead in Cardiff soon enough. Going to London next weekend to see dad. apart from that i've done bugger all. it feels like a waste
Not a whole stinking lot.
Found a job(finally).
I did A LOT of NOTHING!
The only things worth mentioning are that I left my job in mid June after having worked there for like 1.5 yrs b/c one new manager was making my life miserable, was only able to go to two concerts since I had very little money, messed up my car the night before school started (wasn't my fault) to the point where I had to sell it for very little money since it wasn't worth it for me to try to fix it, but I did start my new job at the beginning of August that pays great money.
Hey, Govtchez, you mentioned a thesis. How big do they have to be? I was at an open day at the local Uni today and they showed me one and it was the size of a dictionary!!
- Went on a trip to Turkey( My first time there, It's a very beautiful country ).
- Improved my electrical guitar playing techniques.
- Listened to many metal music albums.
- Played alot of Counter Strike.
- Learned more about programming.
And many other things...
It was a good summer.
Ummmmmm............
Its not summer everywhere!
Its winter here.
So I went fishing, sailing, camping and surfing.
There's no real requirement for size (at least at my school)- most are around a hundred pages or so. Mine'll probably be a little shorter. I know minesweeper just finished his at a UK university - sounded pretty long.Quote:

ONE HUNDRED PAGES?!!
I have trouble READING 100 pages, let alone writing them! What sort of things would you write about? Is it like an essay or just an opinion, can it be about something thats already happened (like the history of the intenet for example) or something you invent (like how your new file system you plan to make will work)?
I was in the army the whole summer :(
I'm helping port a bunch of code to a new platform. I've already ported the OS, and I'm currently porting a communication protocol.Quote:

Workin at Cedar Point.....
TTD is running now, btw.
Sweden hasn't faught a war for about 200 years (Although this doesn't mean we havn't been a great fighting nation if you're intrested you could read some books about the 30 years war and a bit forward in time.). And we are one of the few countrys still having forced army (meaning everyone has to be in it for some time although we don't got enuf money to fund all of our military so alot of people don't have to (couldn't find the english word for it))Quote:

Travelling with car and tent through Sweden for a couple of weeks. From Malmö via the western part of the country to Arvidsjaur in Lappland and then via the east-coast back to the south and then back home.
I think buying Visual Studio.net was a landmark in my vacations.
Sadly,I couldn't find time to learn driving.I'm sad about that!
