Students: Things to Do This Summer

#1) Read.  A lot.  (Suggested Reading List coming tomorrow.)

#2) Write.  A lot.  (See above.  Except that list will be about writing, of course.)

#3) If not on Twitter, consider joining and following me (@TheMrDShow), as well as some of your other favorite people on the planet.  Trust me, it's entirely more intellectually stimulating that Facebook.

#4) Tell your parents about this blog and have them follow it.  This will save me from begging them to do so myself at Open House in early August.  

#5) Have tons of fun.  However, be careful and make wise decisions.  Both can be achieved.

#6) Try something that you never have done before.  

#7) Spend time focusing on, and doing some things for, people other than yourself. 

#8) Have a meaningful conversation with someone quite a bit older than you, like a grandparent or, for those fortunate enough, a great-grandparent.

#9) Travel.

#10) Come into next year ready to have the best educational experience known to this universe. Having a positive attitude is worth its weight in (insert precious metal here). Also, having materials would be nice.  (List coming soon.)
