I hate summer.
What’s good about it? Nothing, I say!
-Not the weather: I hate being hot, I hate the sun, and I hate the feeling of air on my skin.
-Not being outside: See above.
I’ve tried to think of reasons why someone might like summer, and the weather and being outside are the only two I can think of. Maybe there’s more, but they probably have something to do with the weather or being outside. You might think that, since I’m a teacher, summer would be a big hit with me. Maybe it was great back when you actually got three months off during the summer, but I’ll be lucky with 6 weeks of non-school time. I generally work a week after school ends and I start at least a week before it begins. Since our 100 year old brick building turns into an Easy Bake Oven, none of this is pleasant.
We are planning on finishing our basement next winter, so the summer of 2010 might be great for me. I envision spending every minute of those 6 weeks in the cool, dark, quiet (beautifully finished and furnished) basement. A girl can dream, can’t she?

Too funny… I have Reynaud’s disorder, which means my capillaries spasm in cold weather, so I HATE the winter months, and long for the summer when at least I’m just as miserable as everyone else, instead of more so.

I share your hate of the heat but spending summer in a basement? I love the air on my skin and even in winter (ok so there’s no snow) the windows are always open. I’m a fresh air freak! OH and good to see a teacher actually using their summer break for work! Many of my friends are teachers and they do bugger all in the summer!

In my fantasy, it’ll be a NICE basement. Cool, and dark, but not musty.
I actually do like fresh air, but I don’t like air blowing on my skin. I hate a stuffy, closed-in house.
I think I need to stop typing…I’m sounding way more high maintenance than I am.
