Oh, wow. I have not blogged for 10 days. It definitely felt shorter, so I apologize for my unannounced disappearance. My desire to blog has dwindled down once again... I do not know what to talk about. You know, I would love to tell everyone about my amazing trip all around Europe but alas, I can not.. because I did not! Ha. Instead, I buried myself in various texts and tried to expand my brain capacity and usage for the summer. I find this study very beneficial because once I begin school again, I do not struggle with writing or challenging reads. In my previous long holidays, I find that I truly do start forgetting the English language when I do not expose myself to enough words. On some days, I go on without even speaking a single word (ok, maybe I do say some words), and when I am asked to read aloud, I simply sound funny; I will hesitate and stutter as if I am back to kindergarten.

There has been an extreme heat alert across the country that I live in therefore, I do not want to go out much. I tan very easy and my skin is fair and "thin" so I can sun burn easy too. Sometimes, my body tans evenly so I can not tell whether I have tanned a lot or not.. but I have a trick now. When I wear flats, I simply have to look at the change between my toes and the top of my foot. It looks silly to have such a distinct difference, but no one can see it unless I am barefoot.
