5. I Went To Summer School A Few Years

For just what you described. I was a straight A student, so i didn't NEED summer school, but i went to take wood shop, track and field class, basic electrical one year, and like that. It was fun, killed a few hours each day (although i think it was only 4 days a week) and i got to meet some cute girls who went to different schools than mine.

Worked pretty good for me.
