Welcome Weather

Ew, someone smells.
Ew, we're all sweating.
Ew, my eyes are squinting.


These are symptoms of the upcoming season. SUMMER!
Some people, like Emma, enjoy the rain. Emma, you're a bit odd :)
Somewhere I read someone saying 'People always look down when it's raining- that shows how bad we're feeling'. It's true- I personally DO look down when it's raining, but that's not because I feel miserable. It's just that I don't want raindrops covering the entire surface of my glasses. I don't know- having water drop into your eyes is kind of annoying. 


So anyway, I actually can't wait for Summer. Spring is amazing too, because of my birthday, but those swooping, overprotective-of-their-offspring birdies are scary.
I remember in a class last year on one of the last days of term that we were in one of the computer rooms, and surprise, surprise, NO AIRCONDITIONING ON THE HOTTEST DAY! The fans don't do too much to help either. Especially when they sound like they're about to fly off the ceiling, spin at a thousand kilometres an hour around the classroom, cleanly swiping a few heads of their necks in the process. Not fun. On that hot, summer's day, I remember that there was some pretty epic B.O. clouding the whole room. I also remember that our uniforms were sticking onto our chairs because let's face it. Everyone was starting to... moisten. We couldn't open the windows because although it may have been 60 degrees inside, it was about 80 out there. 


I miss that.


But I'll tell you the best feeling about Summer: 
When you walk from an airconditioned classroom out into the 37 degree concreted playground. There's just something so movie scene-ish about that. It's like we're saying "Welcome to Sydney. We might not ride kangaroos to school, but we can enjoy the heat waves" and all the tourists are nodding to each other in awe and can't hide their impressed faces. I think that's pretty cool. 


One more thing I like about Summer: the clothes.
Wow. I'm speechless. Tearing up here, I mean, wow. 
Summer fashion is impressive. Ok, I'll admit that you sometimes see the odd grandmother who sort of outgrew the whole 'mini-skirt and floral singlet' thing about thirty years ago, but generally, I congratulate the world on their mostly innovative clothing during the hot season. You can wear jewellery so much easier as well. When you're wearing a jumper, no one can actually see that awesome forearm-long bracelet pile you've carefully fitted onto your wrist. To them, it just looks like you've got something wrong with your arm. Then, here comes Summer, and you can wear UBER bright necklaces, flowers in your hair, anklets, and as many amazing bracelets as you own. Now we're talking.


This is a bit of a longer blog than I first expected, but hey. Here comes the sun.
