[quote=Anonymous]Pretty boring actually. It was hot where I lived so no one played outside or rode bikes where I lived. People did swim team but I found it a joyless grind so quit. No one did day camp. A few friends (mostly the Jewish ones) went to sleep away camp which made it even more boring. I read a ton-that was before the whole YA genre so mostly read the classics in paperback from the library. The entire works of Shakespeare, etc. I also watched a ton of TV — mostly old movies from the 30s and 40s (thanks Ted Tiurner!) but also reruns of things like the original Star Trek. It was pretty hard to get minimum wage jobs in my town so not that many people worked. I didn’t have a car so couldn’t get a job. I would typically see my friends maybe 1-2x per week when I could convince my mom to drive me, but more often summer after my junior year when a lot of my friends could drive.[/quote]
