As the weather gradually starts to get hotter and hotter everyday, students at Eastview feel the school year coming to an end and look forward to their beginning of summer break. Students reflect on the 2008-09 school year; classes, teacher, co-curriculars, friends, and also make plans for their summer break.
For some students, this year went by smoothly. "It seems like we just started school a few weeks ago, and now it's already ending," says Reed Larsen, a sophomore at Eastview. "I was in tech crew all year, so that kept me busy and made the time fly." For other students, not so much. "I'm so ready for the year to be over!" exclaims Maddy Settle, junior. "I've been so stressed out all year, and I can't wait for summer vacation."
It's safe to say that all students are excited for the three blissful months of summer vacation, such as Therese Harrah, junior. "I've been counting down the days of school left until summer break since February." Therese informed me that we currently only have 13 days of school left!
Many have different plans to celebrate the 4th of July. "I'll probably be going to my aunt's house for a barbeque and to watch fireworks," says Reed. "It's always fun to catch up with family and eat berries."
Some students plan to go out of town this summer. "I'll be staying in Chicago for most of June to study art. I'm super duper excited! I've always wanted to go to Chicago," says Therese who is very interested in art.
Summer is a great time to attend concerts! Since the alternative punk band Blink-182 recently got back together, they are starting their first tour in a long time this summer. "I'm so there!" screams Joey Gustafson, one of Blink-182's 'greatest fans'. "I'll probably go to Warped tour this summer! I went there last year and had a great time." says Maddy.
Although it seems so far away, after summer, a new school year will start. "I think it's weird thet we're going to be seniors next year. I still don't feel grown up." Therese says. Not many people are thinking too much of the next school year, at least not until summer is done.

I really like your feature story. It really paints a clear picture of what your interviewers plans for the summer are and how they plan to spend their time on the many sunny and hot days that are given to us from june to august. It is really descriptive and full of detail.
