What am I going to do this summer?

I have been thinking lately about what I will do this summer of 2011. I will probably have to take a college class again. I am interested on an art class, but I'm not sure about what I will take. I want to travel a lot. That is what I want the most. My parents are thinking about sending my brother and I to Brazil for a few weeks but we don't know yet. I'd love to go to Brazil, plus now that I know a little Portuguese and I can undestand it almost perfectly would make it good. But we are not sure about that yet, so maybe this summer or in 2014 for the world cup which will be there. I can't wait for that. I like Alameda, but last summer I spent 99% of the timehere and it got boring. I wanted to go out of Alameda badly. I'm excited for summer because we don't have school, but I am not excited about the annoying hot weather; I hate it. Summer is not my favorite time of the year, but unfortunately that's when I get a long break from school. Not when it's all nice and cold.
Um, I also want to hang out with friend and with Amber too! She won't be here most if the time though, she will be far away all summer, again. I want to play soccer. I want to spend more time with my brother too. I want to go to my grandma's house in Santa Cruz. I love it there, it's beautiful. I love the ocean.
I don't want to do community service stuff. Even though when I help others it makes me feel good about myself, I do not want to do anything like that, simply because it is boring. I don't like doing boring stuff when I don't have school.
Oh! One thing I don't want to do this summer is homework. I don't like homework during summer. It reminds me of school. If it was only, for example, a day of homework (3-5 hours) I would do it. When we have to do homework at least one day per week, that is annoying. I know it is good for us to practice for school and critical think but I just don't like it. So I'm not looking up to that this summer...
I want my summer to be fun, I want to remember this summer. Traveling would make me happy :)

Response to Carly's response to "Sleep"

I love to sleep, and what carly said on her "Sleep" post.
 I am doing my post wayyy earlier than I am supposed to because I know I won't have time tomorrow or Friday. So, I found this post especially appealing because it is about sleep. Right now it is eleven something and I yearn to sleep early, at least once. There are many symptoms to lack of sleep, much that I have now and will have tomorrow at school. They include: dark ugly circles under the eyes, slight wrinkles under those, hazy unfocused lenses, dizziness, discoloration, and thirstiness. Without sleep, people can look old and worn out. The cause of this is homework and procrastination. Right now, I have to continue with homework and deal with all these symptoms. I might just take a nap...
I am actually really sleepy right now, but I have to do this. I am really tired because I had a soccer game after school and came home late. I started doing this at 11 but fell asleep :(
Okay, so yeah, I usually get home from school between 4 and 5, and I don't start doing my homework until like an hour after, even though my plan always is to start it right away. I wait and eat, then start on my homework and then I start socializing and getting distracted. Or I am just sleepy and simply can't do it (how convenient).
Then sometimes I don't get all my work done by the time I go to bed or by the time I am really tired ad I end up waking up early in the morning to finish whatever I have left. Then there is a problem; I fall asleep during math class, science class and writing class. Once lunch starts I kind of wake up and feel ready to start my day.
When I sleep a lot, I don't get enough time to do my work. Sometimes I just can't sleep at night and so I don't get enough sleep. Sleeping is one of the things I love to do the most, but I don't like it that my sleeping schedule is ruined because of homework. Or because I'm slow at doing it. That just means I have to put more effort into it and start doing it before. Well, I'm sleepy now..
