Summer Plans

On the road solidly for the next two months but.....

looking at going somewhere - me and my girlfriend,
mate and his girlfriend - in Greece in August.
I've been recommended Santorini. The last time i
was there was 10 years ago and it was cool. But I'm
concerned it's gone all lager lout touristy and
over-developed.
Looking for a quiet island, with a bit of history, not too
many tourists, relaxing, with emphasis of good food,
and chilling. Any suggestions anyone?

Well, for the next week I'll be finishing up my school year. Our finals were three weeks ago, we're currently in a Spring Term instead of regular classes, so I'll be taking fencing in the morning and sundials/solar calenders in the afternoon. After school gets out I'm off to Cambodia for two weeks to help with some missions work. Then, at the end of June, I'll be celebrating my birthday. In early July I'm going down to Tennessee with my youth group to stay on housboats at Dale Hollow Lake for a weekend. The rest of my time will be spent hanging out with friends, listening to music, and possibly working (if I can find a good place to work).

well, i have a few plans

• working part-time at Donatos Pizzeria for minimum wage.... although with tips it comes out to be roughly $6 an hour.
  
• also working part-time with a construction company. i'll be working for the guy's business  that remodeled our kitchen. great guy, very friendly.
• going to China and then Mongolia! I'll be in Beijing for four days and Ulaan Batur for a week. I'm going with a very-wealthy family friend who's involved with civil rights and free market activists groups that are trying to promote freer governments/economies overseas. I'll actually be meeting the Prime Minister of Mongolia. So, it'll be some meeting with economists/activists and some tourism as well. I'm leaving July 5th and returning home July 16th.
• RECORDING MY CD! Yes folks, you heard me right. My school has a program/endowment for upcoming Seniors to do "projects in creativity". People do anything from medical research to manual construction to arts projects. So, I proposed a recording project where I would record, mix, and produce a completely original CD. Of the $4200 i requested, I ultimately got $2400!!! So, although I had to personally invest a little more than I had wanted, I'm off on a recording project. So, with my new Mac Powerbook I'll be recording my masterpiece. Right now, my press officials are saying that Mr. Gutierrez shall be putting out his debut release in May 2006 .
