Record High Heat Creates Insane Excitement!!!


Yesterday (June 8th) our area experienced a record high temperature! While I expect most people were lounging in front of a fan, or if you’re lucky enough, an AC, I was busy on campus in my Summer Astronomy class. My Astronomy class runs Mon. – Thur., 8:30AM to 1:20PM for four weeks.


As I sat in my non-air-conditioned classroom, I didn’t feel uncomfortably hot. We were even conducting a lab that required to turn on extremely hot lights for a couple of hours. Surprisingly enough, I felt comfortable, and for the most part, cool. As my day continued, I got into my non-air-conditioned car and drove home. Again, the heat barely bothered me. I arrived at home and eventually I turned my AC off in my house because I was too cold!


Now, I don’t expect you to think this is a very interesting story from what I’ve just said. But, the heat yesterday (that’s also continuing today) has caused me so much excitement! Extreme heat typically wouldn’t spark so much excitement in the average person. However, if you have been reading my blogs from the past I stated that I’m moving to Disney World in FLORIDA!


While upper 90’s are a record high for us this time of year, I assume it’s an average day in FL. The way I was handling the heat surprised me. Usually I’m a soggy ball of complaining sweat when it gets this hot. But, no, not this Summer. I’m embracing our record high heat wave and looking ahead to my new chapter at the Disney College Program in FL.


Maybe I won’t get my AC in my car fixed until I leave for Disney. It’ll help me get use to the heat… good idea?


Thanks for reading my babble,
