humidity. and stupidity.

i forgot how humid it is in the south. i mean really, it's like swimming in the water in the air. i love summer nights, but i love them more in rexburg because it's just dry and cool at night, and you can just play and play and not feel disgusting! but i still love you south carolina.

i have been cleaning from 8 am to 1 pm, and then 5 to 10 pm. every. day. i've cleaned the usc apartments for college kids, and gee, they're are some gross kids out there. but no worries, i've been making $20 a day. and so my paycheck soon will be about the same, if not more, than all i'll earn working at mellow mushroom this fall. i'm finally home, living with my family, and i love it. i don't miss roommates at alllll.
