This summer

This summer I am going to relax!  I am so over worked form school, that I cannot wait to go home and just sit by the pool.  I need this rest and relaxation to rejuvenate myself for the school year.  Hopefully I will not be bothered when I am poolside, and I hope that I will not get stuck with too many responsibilities around the house.  The way I see it is that there are six other siblings in the house, so if we rotate responsibilities, then I will have plenty of time to relax.

However I will be taking classes this summer at Molloy, and I will surely be busy with homework assignments.  I am taking a class so that I can get my Kindergarten extension, as well as a technology class.  I am also going to be working at a camp at Molloy.  This will be my third year in a row working this camp.  I will also be starting a new job after the camp a a Tutor Time in Massapequa.  My friends mom owns the Tutor Time, and she asked me if I would be interested in working there.

I will also be coaching the Molloy College Rugby Team over the summer.  We need to put in a lot of work this summer if we want to have a chance at winning the Tri-State Conference Championship this upcoming fall.  We only graduated one senior, and if we have a lot of guys coming down this summer, we will potentially have success in the fall.  I also am going to play rugby for a men's team on Long Island this summer.  I love playing rugby, but the main reason that I will play on this men's team is to learn more about the game, so that I can teach it to y players.

It is clear that I will have a busy summer with minimal relaxation, but I will be going away for vacation.  I am not sure where I will go yet, but my girlfriend is graduating college so I have to take her somewhere special.  We went to Disney World last year, so maybe we will go on a cruise together.  We have done this once before, and it was a blast.  Whatever it is we do or where ever  it is that we go, it beats working.
