For most students, summer means taking a break from school and having a little bit of fun. Hopefully, most of you are still maintaining a regular practice schedule (which is a whole different set of problems). As for teachers, we are giving advice as to what to work on, and hopefully setting goals.
My view is that summer is like the "off-season" of sports. You don't have the responsibilities of putting together a solid program, and/or constantly learning music. My suggestion, take this opportunity to clean up your technique. You have probably identified a few major/minor flaws in your technique that were exposed in some of the pieces that you have been playing. You did not want to take the time out to clean that section up because that recital was nearing in on you, and memorizing the music was taking up a bulk of the time.
Now is your chance. Whether the use of the A-finger, or the pinkie doing pull-offs/hammer-ons, find some technical exercises to help with the deficiency. Ask for advice from your teacher, or read one of the several books published that cover guitar pedagogy. When the fall starts back up, you yourself will be a better player, and might be surprised how some of the more difficult passages have become easier.
