Heat and Teen Fashion

This morning, I am sitting next to an open window and the froggy tones of the weather man on the television is competing with traffic hum and crickets. Such is living with others, both in the house and in my surrounding area. I didn't program the new coffee machine properly, so that is a small conundrum to figure out later on. Ah, modern living.

Yesterday's heat was invasive. My classroom got too hot, even with one window open and two fans going. Students shut down: head rolls, lack of focus, etc. Me, too. I was sick to my stomach when I got home. Thank goodness for the A/C in the car, and when I got home, I collapsed for a short bit, just cooling down. The first floor of our school was at least 20 degrees cooler (and the office was lovely). This is what we sort of expect in June, but September is usually warm, but not swampy. 

Today is supposed to be much of the same, and it's school photo day as well. I will go and get mine done-- we have to, for photo ID badges-- as soon as I get to work. Nobody wants to see a wilted and sweaty photo for a year. 

That said, maybe the kids will dress for the weather-- yes, we have a dress code, but seriously? hoodies? mid-90s for temps and humid and they wear heavy boots and hoodies? Gah. Suffering for fashion, I guess. I saw that there are other places in the US that got snow. Another conundrum.

Keep cool,
