summer

Feeling the cool air pass through my hair as I peel out of the school parking lot with my windows down, the beautiful weather, the lack of homework, AP testing, it can only mean one thing: Summer is almost here!

Summer is coming soon. And with college waiting at the end of August I have been faced with the ever pressing question of what to do with summer.

Obviously finding and decent job with lots of hours and good pay is a must. Well I’m pretty sure that I have that under control.

True story: If you roll your windows down while driving, the sun will beat down on one arm, but not the other. You probably won’t notice because of the cool wind racing in through the window.

In other words, I look like a damn candy cane.

Summer is way too long. Midway through the summer break, my charges are ready to kill each other. No, scratch that. They are actively trying to kill each other. Brain Drain picks and picks and picks until Middle Child snaps and hits him, then he grins while Middle Child gets sent to his room. I'm on to this, though. Brain Drain goes to his room too.

Theres nothing better then chilling outside with your friends and sucking on a popsicle. Finding the perfect hide and go seek spot, making leaf sandwiches while playing house, and shouting TAG YOUR IT then running off laughing.

Most all schools have a dress coad of some sort. And as a teen - yeah it sucks I want to where what I like. Insert the whole "Screw authority, they can't tell me who I am" part here. But when you think about it sometimes the dress coad protects everyone.
