Summertime Heat.
As everyone is well aware, this summer has been probably the hottest summers we've had in Alabama in years. With the humidity increasing every year, it has been so miserable to even walk outside. Even things that a lot of people enjoy in the summertime such as going to the lake or getting in the pool and grilling out weren't all that enjoyable because of the heat. It has even been to hot to have the windows down while your driving because it feels like your breathing in nothing but hot air. When I would wash my car, I would break a sweat before I had gotten any soap onto my car. Luckily, I didn't have to be out in the heat all day during the summer. I babysat during the day and worked at my other job, which was a tanning salon, at night. So being scorching hot sun, wasn't something that I had to go and do all day. On the other hand, my boyfriend does. He works for the Tallapoosa Logging Company and is in the heat 50 weeks out of the year, giving him a week off for Christmas and the Fourth of July. Because he has to wear long pants and boots to work, when he comes home he is usually drenched in sweat. But I know he is not the only one dealing with the heat all day. I feel bad for all the people that have to work out in the sun when it's almost 100 degrees outside and the humidity is ridiculous. I've even broke a sweat walking back and forth to classes. I like to wear shorts on the days that I only have one class but the other two days I have to come I have to wear jeans because when I'm in class or in the library doing my homework, I'm usually freezing. Then I walk outside to go to another class or to my var and I get hot all over again. Everybody loves to see summer come, but I think by the end of the summer everybody is ready for the cool weather that fall and winter brings.
