You’re all morons.

I think a grammar refresher course is necessary for about 70% of this country’s population. When someone puts quotes around totally random fragments of the sentence, I cringe. When someone mixes up “there” and “their,” I cry. And when someone puts an apostrophe before the “s” of a word they wish to be plural, I die a little on the inside.

Since yesterday, I have completed 4 of the 15 psychology summer assignments. I have yet to start on the math packet or the English paper on the book I won’t bother reading.
I’m only sleeping

This summer, I’ve started to take naps in the afternoon. After a day of watching a bunch of kids, I can be quite tuckered.
If someone’s home with me at the time, I tell them I’m going to be napping as to reduce inadvertent sequences of awakening. Usually I say, “Good night,” but now I realize this goodbye is potentially inaccurate.
I take my naps from (roughly) 3:30PM EST to 5:00-6:00PM EST. Therefore, it’s not nighttime when I retire to my quarters.
What am I supposed to say, then? “Goodnight” doesn’t suit the situation, and “good afternoon” is typically associated with a greeting, not a declaration of absence.
You know it’s summer when I fret over silly things like this.
