Sleepless Nights In The Summer

The hustle before a weekend trip home is in full swing now, as I try to get everything in order before I take a few well-deserved days to relax in the comfort of my own home. It'll also be a nice chance to catch up with my hometown buddies, whom I haven't seen in far too long! There's a definite downside to being so involved with college things: you tend to lose touch with your other friends the more you have to shift your time to your new life. I'm determined not to let that situation get too out of hand, however, so that's part of this weekend's goal.

Is it the dog days of summer yet? I can't quite remember when those are supposed to be, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now. Perhaps we're just in the puppy days, but it's certainly heated up in the NRV over this past week. I've been sweltering a bit in my basement room, which probably means the ground's ambient temperature is up, as well. Time to break out the fan the next chance I get, so I can start sleeping better.
