I've been sticking with what works best and really making the most of my summer vacation by not studying. At this pace I'll be locked into a full week of non-stop catch up work to finish all the assignments and review material before class starts up again on the 20th. On the bright side, I still firmly believe that forgetting something and re-learning it is a big part of making something a natural reflex instead of some kind of forced effort that requires constant focus.
The weather report has been talking about a typhoon lately, but the only affect where I am is a bunch of rain. Usually rain is great because it cools things down and I can enjoy opening my windows and letting in fresh air, but lately it seems like the rain just gets stuck in the air. It never actually cools down, it just gets more humid and stays just as hot so it's pretty miserable trying to sleep without constantly running a fan, the AC, or both. I end up having the same feeling every single year. "Isn't summer over yet?" It feels like it stays hot forever. I never really put much thought in it before, but it seems like I'm more of a winter person. I enjoy being able to move around over long distances comfortably without breaking a sweat and a blanket is a lot cheaper than the small electronic army that it takes to keep an apartment cool in the summer.
Travelocity sent me an automated "friendly" reminder to get things in order for my upcoming travel plans. Their recommendation includes a hotel for about three grand because no one would want to stay with their family in December, right? [sarcasm] Even if it wasn't the season for family gatherings I would still be hard pressed to find any reason worth dropping that much money on hotels to visit Virginia. It's not exactly the "Vegas of the desert". Haha, actually the vegas of the desert isn't exactly the vegas of the desert. That's what one of the NC's on my old ship used to call Bahrain as part of his sales pitch to get people to agree to taking a post there. Good times.
