Sunny With A Chance of Humidity, Humidity, and...

You guessed it; more humidity!!! Today and tomorrow both have highs between 95 and 100 degrees F (35 to 38 degrees Celsius (for my European reader)) What sucks is that since the public schools don't let out for another two weeks, the town pool doesn't open until then. This means I am sitting in my air conditioned house when I would rather be out at the pool swimming and giving my skin some much deserved Vitamin D after a winter of being cooped up inside due to the ridiculous number of snowstorms that decided to dump a foot or two of snow in Boston every few weeks. I should be finishing my lab report for Chemistry, prepping the next one, and doing my homework, but that doesn't seem like much fun. Remind me again why I signed up for summer school? Oh right, in order to start nursing classes in the Fall I had to take Biochemistry. Luckily we are halfway done, and to tell you the truth, it hasn't been too, too bad, but during a week like this, I would rather be outside basking in the sun (with SPF 15+ of course). I'm lucky that I don't burn too easily.

I booked my 4th of July vacation this week. My class finishes on July 30th and I fly to New Jersey at 6:00 am the next morning. Once I land in New Jersey, I have an hour and a half train trip to the Jersey Shore, and then it will be a long holiday weekend of sitting on the beach and visiting with my friend, Emilie. I am really looking forward to relaxing and not having anything to worry about. We haven't decided where we are going to watch the fireworks, but we will either watch the fireworks down the Shore or the NYC fireworks. Usually I go to the Jersey Shore in mid-August, but since Emilie is applying for teaching jobs, she doesn't know where she will be come mid-August. I will have from Friday to Tuesday down there, I will come back and work a short week, and then I go up to Northern Vermont for a week of golfing and good food on Lake Champlain. I am taking advantage of vacationing and relaxation this summer, because come September I will be in school for the next 20 months and I won't have the summers off.

Anyways, I should return to homework. Toodle-oo!

    Do you know, I read somewhere that you shouldn't use anything less than 20spf. Obviously I didn't learn that from italians. Here, the Sun "protection" aisle is 85% dedicated to tanning oils... with -20spf. This is why you see so many 40 year olds who look like 60 year olds dressed as 20 year olds.
