Ah, mellow music and humidity.

So I'm just sitting here listening to Ray LaMont... well okay scratch that it just changed to Wilco, but nevertheless... I love it. Unfortunately, the humidity is killing me. It's 80 degrees upstairs AND I'm sick so that's equalling a pretty bad feeling.

Luckily the music kind of equals it out and makes me feel, neutral at least. 

Anyhow, I've had a pretty uneventful week as the highlight of it so far has been strawberry picking. Plus it's been storming all week which makes it kind of hard to be outside. (Believe me, when I went to pick strawberries I all but ruined my corduroy TOMS, and yes I realize those weren't the best choice of footwear when it was so muddy.)

Although I've felt pretty bored (not to mention useless) this summer, especially compared to the beyond-busy school year I had, I still can't believe that my birthday is next week. Although I'm glad for it to come, since the day after my birthday it's straight to Pittsburgh to visit my roommate, then back home for less than two weeks and back to Philadelphia, and then only a couple weeks until I go back to school, I'm still a little bit bummed. Time really does go faster and faster when you get older, and I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that in exactly 9 days I will be TWO DECADES old. 

On the sports front, the Phillies finished off their three-day series with the Bluejays by getting swept. They never fail to make me angry. They are SUCH a good team, and they play so well on the road, but when they come home, it's like they are incapable of the term 'W'. Luckily the Cubs won and didn't get swept by the Sox, otherwise I would have been a lot more upset as far as baseball goes. I still need to choose a Cubs game to go to in July, but I can't figure out if I should go when they play the Brewers or when they play the Braves. I suppose it doesn't really matter, it's fun to go to the game no matter who they're playing (even when they're playing the Pirates, haha). Actually, the funny thing is that I've been to two Pirates games already this year and will be going to one when I'm in Pittsburgh (mostly because the Cubs will be in town). 

But I digress...

The main point of this is, I'm just happy that summer will finally be starting soon. I'll be going to downtown Chicago quite a bit soon for the Taste and to go to the beach (because the weather is FINALLY supposed to be getting better).

I'll be updating :)

Cheers
