Feelin' hot hot hot...

Well, the papers are all turned in and classes finished for the summer. Whew, that feels good. So, I've been spending my time giving the house a good cleaning and studying for an exam required by the UNCC counseling department that I will take on Monday. Gus has been hard at work too, soaking in all of this unbelievable heat! Here's an update from our house...

To the right you will see a picture of a nifty device that Andy got for our house. You can see that it is 11am and the indoor temperature is 77 degrees, and outside it is a scorching 100 degrees! That basically guarantees that I will be inside.

But that is not the case for all of the Schmidts...

Here you see a picture of Gus voluntarily scorching himself on the deck. Hopefully he will not be out there for long, but this is how he chooses to spend his time. Even when it is 100 degrees at 11am.

Almost there!

I am so close to being finished with summer school... and not a moment too soon! I knew that it would be a challenge to take a full load of classes during summer school, but thought, "I'm not working, I can handle this". Well handle it I did, however I had no idea how much writing I was in for! To date this summer I have written approximately 99 pages of assignments in the form of weekly reflections, discussion postings, observations, cultural autobiographies etc. etc. Whew, I am running out of things to say...believe it or not.

Needless to say, I have not been bursting with creative ideas of postings for the blog. But that is really a summary of what's been going on in my life the past few weeks. Two more days, one more paper, and then I plan to relax and not think about anything...at all...nothing.
