What are you doing talking about summer like it's almost over? Do you want to scare it off? It's a fickle creature, this summer. But in it, I still have a notebook business to start, and writing to submit (and finish, should probably do that first). Got people to meet, parties to learn about, a century to ride, and tons to lift. God, I love being a student, so I can actually get stuff done during the summer.
I've gotten into bookbinding some over the past year or so, making a few notebooks for friends' birthdays, and some pocket and school ones for myself. My town has a local craft and flea market, where anyone can set up a table for $15 a week, with no commitment week to week. I'm hoping to build up a base stock over the next couple of weeks, and start selling there. The market only lasts the summer though. So, in a few months, once I turn 18, I'm planning on opening up an online shop, either through Etsy or the rumored Amazon alternative.
Ah I am sorry, I speak about summer as if it's almost over since my work schedule is weird. I work 14 days straight 7 off. So for me, 4 more weeks off and there may be snow on the ground. Like there was here about 2 and a half months ago. I do miss school, mainly the social aspect. Although I apparently can't push myself to actually attend when I was enrolled for a year (twice). Figured instead of wasting my time and money on something I alarmed dreaded, I may as well be miserable while earning some cash instead of losing it. Although I still do my fair share of losing cash. Enjoy school while you're in it, next thing you know you'll be 23 with two years of experience in a field that does nothing for you other than pay bills.
