august greetings

I dread August. The feeling creeps up a couple weeks into July, and sticks around until I can count down the days to September on one hand.

As far as I can tell, it all began in 2001. Maybe it's because it was because of that bad UTI I had in August 2001 (everyone needs to know :-D), or it could be remnants of the major anxiety I felt about beginning high school. But I did go to the Happiest Place On Earth® that August, so...

This might sound weird, but part of me thinks it has something to do with the angle of the sun. Just like I don't like January because it's too bright compared to December. There is something about August sunlight that I don't like.

That is all.
