the dog days of summer

It's that time of year again........... The sun is out, the classrooms are hot and sticky, and I now have a permanent coating of orange creamsicle on my lips and chlorine on my skin - it's almost summertime.

I've always lived my life in terms of summers. Well...... my summer meaning pretty much anywhere from April to October. It seems like all the monumental events that have happened in my life worth remembering have happened in the glorious six month period between April and October, while weather is hot and the beverages are cool.

It's so unfair that school is still going on this time of year. Schools these days should have retractable roofs - marks may go way down, but attendance would definitely go way up. Lately I've been finding myself daydreaming of the months that follow my last exam, and all the amazing things I plan on doing.

The fact that this may be one of my last REAL summers ever blows my mind. So we've gotta live it up while it lasts....... cause yennoe what they say. You're not seventeen forever.
