What are you doing this summer?
 

Sorors and Friends:

Thought I'd lighten the mood a bit by posting a new topic. What, if any, are your summer vacation plans?

I plan to attend the "black folks reunion" (an add-on to the larger reunion taking place)at my alma mater this summer, go to meet the extended family for the first time at my husband's family reunion in St. Louis, and surprise my sands later on this summer. I am also turning 30 on the very first day of summer, so I've decided to pamper myself at the spa!

If anyone's travel plans include Chicago, let a sista know, and I'll hook you up with all the happenings. Speaking of which, I plan on being a very sisterly host to our fellow greeks of Delta Sigma Theta as they make their home in Chicago during their national convention this July. Gotta rep that pink and green love, no matter what!

Take care, all, and have a gorgeous day!

This summer is going to be work work work. I opted to teach summer school. I will teach a full load a CPCC in the Queen City. My son is on a AAU basketball team, and I will travel with him for a week or 2. Other than that I am just going to take things easy.

Have a great time, DG,....Chicago mmmmmm, I would love to visit. Have fun with DST. Spread Pink & GReen love all around.

Nice topic!

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN....MUCH IS EXPECTED.

I don't have any special plans for this summer. I'm going to incorporate some outdoor activities with my "little sister". There is a lot to do in Charleston in that respect. The city has so many beaches and I haven't been in three years! So, that is definitely on my summer to-do list.

Skeeeeee Weeee Sorors what's up, long time no post :-)
Besides working (URGH) this summer, I just hope to get in a little R&R. I just want to relax and have fun like a kid again. I don't want to do anything except enjoy days in the park and on the beach, and just chill. I want to sit on my porch in the day and play cards at night. I just wanna LIVE! Do yall feel me? I am tired of being grown up and civil *pouting* http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
No really I just want to spend time with family and friends that can keep me smiling from dawn till dust. Oh and I gotta take some long drives and I gotta fit in a couple of amusement parks. I don't want to take any airplanes anywhere (you'll know I got a fear for flying).
So hopefully that will be how I sum up my summer. Lastly, I will be glad to entertain those coming to New York for vacation.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one around here with a fear of flying. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Hello Ladies,

The first thing I will do for the summer...specifically after May 24th is to dance the BIGGEST JIG of my life http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. The semester will be over and I will be able to breathe. I will also be planning my wedding :-) and volunteering as much as I can. I haven 't been able to do much of that so I want to make up for lost time. Haven't decided where I want to volunteer. I love pets so I might volunteer at an Animal Shelter. I also want to be more involved in church. Well those are my plans. Whatcha' think???

Hello ladies!!

Next Saturday I will be graduating from Howard University and this summer I will attend graduate school in New York City! I also plan to travel and get involved with many community service activities.

Have a blessed day!

Same for me DG --- work work work --- I have MANDATORY overtime (believe it or not) to do.

AKATUDE - Don't Leave Home Without It!

Good afternoon lovely ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I bring you greatings from the most Knoble of all men, the Brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Not to intrude upon your discussion here, but I was just wondering have any of you been to the Essence Music festival down in New Orleans. If so, could you please provide a brother with some info on how it is. I have had one friend tell me it was off the hook, while another said that it was just ok. If you could provide some feedback, it would be most appreciated. I already have my ticket and have payed for the hotel. I hope that I didn't waist my money.

Greetings Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and sisterfriends. I plan on RELAXING this summer. I teach so I will have the entire summer off. *Backflips accross the room* Yahoo! I deserve it as do all the teachers around the globe. Anyway, I will be visiting family in NY in June, going to my cousins wedding in Philly, and then off to the Dominican Republic for my Hermana's wedding in July. Between all of this I will be relaxing on the beach at home, in the Virgin Islands, reading the most SCANDALOUS books I can find. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif LOL!

Sincerity, Loyalty, Unity

Hello Sorors and Sisterfriends...
After ten (10) long summers of summer school (undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate)I finally get a break. I also am a teacher, so you know I can't wait. Our last day is May 29th. On that day, I have rented a cabin and plan on living it up for the rest of the summer. On the menu for my summer includes: visiting my LS in California, attending Boule in Dallas, keeping my Godchildren(nieces and nephew), spending quality time with my "sweetie", spending time with my mother, and whatever else comes to mind. I do not care just as long as a classroom, professor, books, and desks are not involved! Take care and enjoy yourselves.
Peace and Blessings!

I get a prize for some serious searching! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I remember someone asked about the Essence Music Festival before. My sister and three of our cousins will be attending. Will anyone from GreekChat be there? Maybe I'll make it next year.

NOW, Soror! What kind of question is THAT?
Especially for moi?

Heck yes, I'm gonna be there! I have only missed it 0NE time since it has been here. BUT, this year a Soror is trying to hook us up so we can serve as volunteers during the day for the seminars and get FREE tickets for the concerts.... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

BTW, Soror, you did get it right...(Nawlins) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Back to DC for me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'll be spending a wonderful spring break working and with my long distance love. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif Hopefully, I'll be able to spend a good portion of my time volunteering with kids. I love those lil people. I wish everyone the best over the summer. Most importantly, please be safe. The summer is the biggest time for accidents. Be safe......and have fun! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hey Sorors!

I am going to go visit my sister in Florida, and I am also going to help a soror move to NC. I forget the place, but she says that it is an hour and forty-five minutes from Charleston. I will also be on the baseball field at least 2 to 3 times a week. The boys play every sport there is and then some.

Maybe it's Wilmington, NC?

I'll attend my family reunion this summer in NC! I always have fun hangin' with the family! I also plan on going to the beach........I'm not sure which one yet....but I'll be going.

Just when you thought it was safe to step out of the classroom. Oops you gotta step right back in. I'll taking a couple of classes in summer school, working, doing some community service. Then maybe at the end of the summer I'll visit my family in Arkansas.

This summer I am going to summer school, working, looking to take on some volunteer work, and running up the long distance phone bills (I have it free on my cell w/ nights & weekends, but I would rather use the regular phone) talking to my boyfriend. Oh yeah, and driving 200 miles at least once a month to see my boyfriend.

This summer I will be attending the Leadership Seminar and the International Regional Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Aside from doing that I will be hard at work. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

hello memberfriends and fellow sisterfriends. this summer i need all of your prayers. i am studying for one of the most difficult bar exams in the country. so i spend my days in a bar prep class, and my evenings in the library, with the little time i have left going to my husband and child (its a miracle that i made it on here tonight). the test is at the end of july, so hopefully i'll have a couple of weeks before i have to go back to work.

(((note: for all of you who have looked at my posts so far and wondered how i was going to pass a bar when i couldn't spell, please forgive my spelling and punctuation errors.)))

Okay, since I'm off, I've decided that I just can't stay at home ALL day doing nothing. So, I've decided to enroll in a college course for 3 weeks with FULL CREDIT.

Also, CT4, I've decided that I will put my name on the substitute list for summer school. I'd rather "sub" than have myself "locked in" for the ENTIRE 6 weeks! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif Shcuks, that's just like teaching ALL over again. I want to decide when I will "go in". http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Summer Plans...
 

Greetings Sorors,

I hope to be traveling to the Bahamas some time in August before I begin grad school!
