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 where people joke that there are only two seasons : August and winter. Granted,it’s only September now, but I’m already hoping for snow. I’m sure by the end of a typical Ithaca winter I’ll be wishing for the snow to be gone, but when my dorm room feels like a sweat lodge, some snow would be appreciated. The heat 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 we were supposed to get here were about -10 degrees F, and that we were going to be taking dog sleds to class. I was also led to believe that I would run into lots of Eskimos on campus.
It’s a shame we aren’t a nudist college, or the Nelly song “Hot in Here” 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. The only people I could see benefiting from everyone being naked would be bio majors who are studying anatomy.
My solution to the heat is make friends with someone who has an air conditioner,or else try to find Mr. Freeze from the Batman series, he seems like a pretty “chill” guy.
Until next time (if the heat hasn’t melted my brain in which case it’s been a great run).
