spoon9001I've been asked if I attend summer school in college by quite a few people. Most accept "no" as my answer and leave it at that. I've been asked, "why" a few times, though.
To give you just an example as to the "why," because I KNOW that you care.
*Note: This is Summer 2007, with no employment.
Spring term ends early June.
Anime Expo is late June/early July. I have that time gap to finish up costumes and art prints, without interference.
ComicCon, if I choose to go, is mid/late July. Not looking like I'm going; thank GOD.
Business isn't doing well for my folks, so my dad may or may not be flying back and forth between here and Northern Cali to get some business up there with his brother. That leaves me and Mom to man the salt mines down here, tend to the yard as well as the house, and other sorts of things while he's gone.
PMX is having weekend events in August and September that are open to SPAM volunteers. I've volunteered for the main shifts, but offered my services for the other ones INSTEAD (not also), in case not enough people take the slack for those latter days. That's 16 hours of work, plus driving at LEAST an hour each way, staying over night possibly/most likely.
A friend invited me (if no one else is available) to go with her to Florida from the 27th-31st of August, possibly to the 3rd of September for the sake of sightseeing.
Summer school courses at my college are 4-5 days a week, accelerated, and typically have homework, over the course of 8 weeks.
I. REALLY. Can't understand why I don't bother with Summer school, when it gives me absolutely no advantage over Spring/Fall courses.
And don't get me started on Winter courses.
