After a week of nearly 100 degree weather, I still seem to be the only one that can’t take the heat. When I complain, people laugh as if to say this is nothing... and then they tell me that “this is nothing” and that it will get hotter still.
I’m working on accepting this new climate through various measures:
First, I think cold thoughts, like happy thoughts except cold ones like Eskimos, frost bitten toes in the mountains, frigid ice baths in the trainer’s office after lacrosse practice, etc.
Also, I plan to buy a third or even fourth fan for my room.
Last, I will learn to love the way that my body responds to this climate by slowing down to conserve energy for basic body functioning thereby removing my peripheral body skills like talking, thinking and reasoning.
It’s a rather funny coincidence that both the sun’s heat and working with this particular population of youngsters leaves me with the same catatonic-like feeling.
