Despite the fact that I spend my days in a puddle of goo of my own making, I am having difficulty accepting that it is in fact summer. There was just no transition time. I use to think it so strange when the Japanese staff at the school I was working at in Japan would go on and on about how Japan has 4 seasons. Now I fully understand the attraction of 4 seasons, going from rain every day for a month straight into 30+ messes you up just a tad. Through in work and school and it might as well not apply at all.
