I Wanna Soak Up The Sun

So, I basically just announced to the entirety of the internet that I used to love that one Sheryl Crow song. Greaaat. Anyway, as many of you may have noticed it has been hot as hell in Ithaca this week. Let me repeat that for emphasis: It has been hot as hell IN ITHACA.

This is the same school that people joke that the seasons are August and Winter. Granted, we only recently got into September but I hope for some snow to start falling immediately. I’m sure by the end of a typical Ithaca winter I’ll be wishing for the snow to be gone, but I seriously hate the heat. It makes it hard to focus ( or maybe that’s just me blaming some latent A.D.D. on the heat), and just generally makes me feel sick.

The fact that it keeps reaching 90 or so in Ithaca must be some kind of record. I thought the highest temperatures were supposed to get here were about -10 degrees F, and we had to take dog sleds to get to class. Or at the very least we could ice skate!

It’s a shame we aren’t a nudist college, or the Nelly song may totally apply here. Then again I suppose I should be happy that we aren’t a nudist college, because that means the professors would be as well. I guess that would be good for the bio students who are trying to learn Anatomy though.

My solution to the heat is make friends with someone with an air conditioner. Which I’m pretty sure I have done but I’ve yet to take advantage of... Which means my goal before that should have probably been to become more of a jerk. Either that or I need to meet Mr. Freeze from the Batman series, he seems like a pretty “cool” guy. Har Har I’m so punny.

Until next time (if the heat hasn’t melted my brain in which case it’s been a great run),
