Dog Days of Summer

I've never understood that saying.

It's been rather hot, sunny, and humid here at the campground the past couple of days. It's a nice change from the dreariness of the first 3 or 4 days. I've just finished my Beatles homework for the week and now I'm debating starting my peer review for Technical writing or going up to the camper to get some lunch. I'm probably just gonna go get some lunch, to be honest.

Around 3 o'clock Jess'ca and I are heading out to our friend, Jenny's carnival. It's not really her carnival, but she's been a carny with them for a few years. We went to this carnival last year during the same week. I think it's Reading's "Community Days" or something similar. I asked Victoria if she wanted to meet up, but she left for Puerto Rico this morning. Lucky duck.

It's been really awesome hanging out with my 2nd oldest cousin and his wife and daughter. I didn't even know he existed until I was about 11 years old; he was away at college and didn't come home very often. He has two younger twin brothers (fraternal twins, they're very easy to tell apart) who normally come to the campground, but the older one is working all week and the younger one is spending the week with his girlfriend. I think now that I'm 20, my older cousins feel more comfortable around me. I'm no longer just little Chloe, the youngest of 11 cousins, the annoying one who won't stop talking, the baby. Now I'm 20-year-old Chloe who is an adult and only has 2 years left of college and can have mature conversations and is only a little bit annoying now. It's a nice change.

I got sunburned yesterday. I wore sunscreen all day at the pool and didn't get burned. Then we decided to go to The Green Dragon, a flea/farmer's market near here. I didn't think about putting more sunscreen on because there are canopies and tents everywhere at The Green Dragon. I got burned right on my back where my tank top curves in. It's super aggravating.

Alright. I think I've procrastinated long enough. Time to get some lunch.
