Yesterday was the first day it rained since I moved on campus on August 26th. But, it only rained for about half an hour and did absolutely nothing to the humidity. When I took a shower, I started sweating as soon as I got out.
Living in no air conditioning is horrible. Not because I can’t stand heat, but because I can’t stand the heat and humidity together. The real feel temperature for the past two weeks has been up in the nineties. It’s sucks that entering my room is like a private sauna. I am constantly sweating! Walking outside is bad enough, but trying to do homework in my room isn’t worth it. I’m so hot that I can’t concentrate.
I keep reminding myself that dorm life is comparable to summer camp (minus the mosquitoes) and I just need to get through it. Sometimes I try to pretend that I’m really roughing it and I’ll appreciate the finer things in life just a little bit better. I vividly remember the extremely cold days in January, but I can’t help long for them, even though they were brutal.
I want rain! And cooler weather! Screw sweating it out. I only want to see jungle in this type of weather.
