Now, I'm not saying that I have an entire desire to do this, but just that it got me thinking about the summer. My family has mentioned a trip to Israel to visit some friends. The problem came when I began to think about school. See, I have this apartment until August and so originally I was planning on staying on for spring and summer terms. But then I did something stupid and didn't apply for the teaching program in September which severely limits the classes I can take. I mean that, besides religion credits, I have two more classes to take after winter semester before everything is blocked/not offered. That will get me through one term. So what to do with summer? Do I stay in Provo and find a full time job? Do I head home(and deal with moving, yet again)? Do I go to Alaska for the summer (do my friends want to come? It would be like the college years of Saved by the Bell hahahaha!). What about another study abroad? Two semesters of culinary school?
I know it's early, but I like to plan. What are you doing this summer?
My dad did something very much like this. He took a job as a ski instructor at a winter resort lodge. It was pretty spur of the moment. By the way he describes it, he had an experience of a life time having all sorts of fun. It took him a week or so to adjust, but after that it was great. Anyway, your Alaska lodge scenario sounds a lot like that, so I think it would be an awesome experience.
ReplyDeleteThe Church is holding auditions for YPIs in Nauvoo. YPI=Young Performing Missionary. You are actually called on a performing mission! A summer performing in Old Nauvoo could be sehr fun! Gotta hurry, though. Auditions end soon, I think. But I think the auditions are held in Utah, not Nauvoo.

AND studying abroad is always an option. What about the Jerusalem Center? Can you do a summer there? Probably hotter than Hades, though.
