First Official Day of Summer?

I proclaim that today is the first REAL day of summer. School actually ended a couple of days ago, but since then, the days have been filled with school related things, such as, graduation, graduation parties, my grandparents flying in for graduation, etc. Anyways, since yesterday I graduated, I am now free for the summer! Except, a couple of work days, a few birthday parties and orientation, but other than that, it's all sleeping in, staying up late and anything to cool down.

It is hot. Not the kind of hot where you sit around in a bikini and sip lemonade by the pool, but the kind of hot where if you sit for more than a minute in an un-air conditioned car, a pool of sweat will form in your seat. It is thirty degrees cooler in my house than it is outside. No one where's pants, because it's uncomfortable to walk in between cool, air conditioned areas, in the heat with anything but shorts or skirts on. I think that if you could tolerate staying outside long enough, you really could fry an egg on the sidewalk.

Anyways, with all this heat, comes a lot of sweat and with all that sweat comes a lot of changing of clothes. Not to mention, that June just happens to be the month of events for me. There's at least one birthday or graduation party a day. Today, I went from shorts and a tank, to a t-shirt, to a dress, back to shorts and t-shirt, to another dress and finally back to pj's. That's six changes in one day! That may seem a little unreasonable and usually I would agree, but trust me, with the sweat and weather, my body and skin thank me for the change of clothes each time. Even if I weren't changing for different occasions, I would be getting rid of my sweaty clothes on a regular basis.

Anyways, despite the excessive amount of wardrobe changes and sweat, I did manage to get a lot done today. I got some things for my dorm, went to a party, bought a book and watched a movie with my friend.

All in all, not a bad day.

So on this first official day of summer, I am starting a little daily ritual. Each day, I will record the number of wardrobe changes I make and the number of showers I take. I also add the day's high temperature, just so you can see. Think of it as a research project. The more times I change clothes and shower, the hotter it will be right? We'll find out.

Clothing changes: 6
Showers: 1
Temperature: 97
