Re: Summer SO Preperation
Well that's a little extreme lol. You definitely can find the perfect balance between productivity and relaxation during summer.
And don't tell me you have a summer to-do list and you never say "Eh... maybe tomorrow." ;]

Re: Summer SO Preperation
Exactly, when I'm not working over the summer I just end up doing random stuff and get less than anything done. The only math I do is counting my brain cells dying... Even if it's not serious preparation, it's better than nothing.amerikestrel wrote:Summer is for things you don't have time for during school, like SO. School year is for school.

Re: Summer SO Preperation
The summer is best for people transitioning into div C (or even Div B, if they're that serious.). I intend on doing just that!
...plus, what else is there to do besides a few amusement parks and maybe a summer camp thingy?

Re: Summer SO Preperation
ALL I DO IS BUILD, BUILD, BUILD. NO MATTER WHAT!
That's all I do all summer. Just sit and build.
Mostly it's just stuff for fun, like a pusher Wright Stuff airplane; things I don't have time to try out during the normal SO season.
(yes, pun intended w/ lyrics)

Re: Summer SO Preperation
I find that taking a few months off is generally okay. It has never hurt me. And besides, we ALL deserve it after all the work we put into everything.

Re: Summer SO Preperation
Last summer, I read over our notes, etc. and reminisced on memories of that year...I think I'll do that again this year 
Now should i note-bomb the Solar System wiki now that I'm out of Div B and Solar System won't be back for another few years?
