Summer Bummer

I'm blogging from rainy Portland, Oregon, USA where it is SUPPOSED to be summertime, but the sun has refused to show its face for the majority of the season so far. In a month that is supposed to be filled with sun bathing, beach trips, barbeques and picnics, I've been stuck inside my apartment sporting a sweater instead of sandals. To make matters worse, I'm taking summer school, so instead of summer sleep-ins, I've been getting up early for class five days a week. Needless to say, it hasn't been much fun.

While this weather is giving me a bad case of of the summertime blues, I'm still trying to stay positive and plan ahead for warmer days. My goals for the summer include:

Surfing.

Camping.

Ride my bike.

Practice guitar.

Read at least 4 books.

Go to concerts.

Trip to the zoo.

Go to a different city, at least for a day or two.

I can't wait to get out and start accomplishing this goals, but until the rain stops, it looks like the only two I'll be able to cross off my list are reading and practicing guitar.

What's the weather like where you guys live? And what do you like to do when the weather is nice?
