What do us poor people do during Summer?

Go outside and see the countryside. Maybe ride your bike somewhere.

You dont need to have money to enjoy life.

Get some hobbies, go to the park for runs, start learning a language, learn next year's course content, learn some new cooking recipes etc etc. There's a pleothors of things out there to do.

Oh man yes I completely forgot about those. Homeland for sure but why is everyone telling me Parks and Recreation gets better? Does it really start off that bad?

I liked them all but as some reviews have mentioned the first series just wasn't as funny and we didn't get a chance to see a lot of character development in my opinion. I did enjoy watching every episode of every series (I watched every single episode in one week)

Haha, good luck; gets pretty painful towards the latter weeks!

Day 1 was bad enough :lol:

But I got it done without any problems. I'll be amazed though if it can actually get me doing 100 consecutive push-ups!

I once spent a couple of weeks watching the whole 3 months worth of Big Brother 2006 on YouTube. That as without watching BBLB or BBBM as well, pretty sure watching those too could fill out a whole months worth of your time.

That's what I thought, but I'm in Week 5 and coping with the middle column... somehow :biggrin:

Don't learn a language that you know you'll not be needing in the future. Anyway, three months isn't enough time. Learning a language probably requires total commitment unless you are really talented.

Way to be an excellent encouragement.

If you want to learn a language, go for something that interests you in terms of culture, sound etc, but don't expect too much from it. It's true you need a bit of commitment, but you'll find that there are no 'hard' languages if you're really interested, just challenging ones. :smile:

Disagreeing with everyone's points of views is suspicious, I think I'm going to keep my eye on Michael, just in case he's trolling.

Just for the record, I'd recommend Latin and German. Latin was once the lingua franca of Europe i.e. the universal language and is a very beautiful one at that. Whilst German I feel is easier to learn for Britons (perhaps Scots in particular) than, say, the Romantic languages like French and Italian.

If I didn't disagree with something that I truly disagreed with then I'd be betraying myself AND the other person whom I am disagreeing with. We must respect other peoples opinions and so be able to agree or disagree. Such is the joy of open discussion. If everyone just agreed with each other when in their minds they actually disagreed, we wouldn't learn much or progress as a society. And believe me, I don't waste my time disagreeing with others just for the sake of it or to make them feel bad, I actually do it because I care for the other person and hope they may learn from what I say. To men who speak their minds! :biggrin:

Barbarous knave, your irrational rant is tragically misplaced. The gent in question was merely enquiring as to suitable activities in which to partake, not inviting a ludicrous rant from the likes of thee.

I think the British government has made a bad choice in dishing out benefits and providing free schooling. Its simple: if you do that then people are just going to take it for granted and perceive it for granted. For example, British kids may think going to school is the norm and so manipulate it whereas someone who has to pay to go to school will cherish it and actually make the most of what they are getting. Its not complicated. Don't even get me started on healthcare. :wink:

All my friends have gone on holiday, and I just sit at home doing nothing. I've applied to internships a few months ago but nothing was successful. I've been constantly applying for jobs in the past months for the summer but still no luck.

I have 3 months of summer before uni and all I have to do is read books...

What are you studying at uni?
