Gimme shelter
It's damn hot his summer - hitting the high 90's during the day, low 70's at night. That's not so unusual. What's different is the absence of humidity, which can make the heat nearly unbearable. This summer it's really dry, and the heat isn't all that unpleasant. It seems to have helped with the allergens a lot, as I haven't had a crippling attack this summer (yet), but my back yard is a wasteland. I'm getting a sprinkler tomorrow to moisten the lawn some, as looking at it dried out like that makes me paranoid about fires.
And despite the lack of humidity, I stay inside as much as possible, slathering on sunblock every time I venture outdoors. Summer is not my best time of the year.
I made the dean's list again, which was expected, as I knew I came out of the semester with all A's. What surprised me, however, was finding out how the chicklet did for the spring semester.
She got C's. That's just so... average. I'm dating an average student.
To be fair, she had a crapload of drama going on during the spring, so she can't be blamed entirely for dropping the ball. But still. I told her she needed to step it up this fall, fo' sho'.
I mean, I can handle most anything from a woman - hell, I even tolerate the fact that the chicklet's a christian.
But average? I don't think so.
