this 100 degree heat reminds me of

ice cold lemonade, slurpees from 7-11, sticky red dirt from the softball field, david's sunflower seeds, pools, searching neighboring hills for the perfect shaded dirt track to race our BMX bikes on, watermelon, summer, childhood ... childhood.

i don't remember where i was going to go with that, but regardless of the heat, i still love summer. because, for the first time in seven years, i have not been in any kind of school (no summer school, no SAT school, heck, no driving school either!), but sadly, like everything else, it all has to come to an end. i'll be back in berkeley around the 22nd or so, weeee fun. sense the sarcasm?
