We All Fall Down

Man, when it's hot, it can be exhausting. Today's heat was nice, but maybe a bit too hot. In a few months from now, at the same temperature, I wouldn't think twice. But when the first day it breaks into the 80s, it almost reached the 90s, it is definitely an adjustment.

I am tempted to turn on the air conditioning, but I am going to try to avoid doing so as it will cool off very soon. It's a funny thing, the air and heat, and how I view it. My parents try to only turn them on when they can let it run for a long period of time. I don't mean hours or days, but if it is not going to become consistently cold or warm for at least a week in a row, they don't see the need for it.

Even though I think this a strange and ridiculous stance to have, it seems to have rubbed off a bit. It won't take a week of hot weather for me to turn the air on, but if its going to be more bearable in a day or two, I won't bother. Is that normal, or do people turn on their air or heat soon as it becomes necessary?

Anyway, I did not hide from the heat today. Instead, myself and a pretty decent crowd of friends who I don't see enough of (some of them) spent a large chunk of our day light hours out on Eddies parade, the campus quad. Days like today are ones where you are all sitting there, knowing you have hours, if not days, of work to get done but if you are going to be distracted by how nice it is outside anyway, might as well just soak it up and worry about the school work later. It's why the attendance rates in classes once April comes around seem to never be full capacity.

Field trip tomorrow is cancelled. The deal we get is day-specific, and so all the parents would have had to okay paying more money for their kids to go on the same trip. I'm guessing by the email I received a few hours ago saying it was not happening means enough parents were not up for that. Bummer, but I can understand the logic - why would you pay double what you were initially meant to pay for the exact same trip? I guess I will have to find time on my own to go see How To Train Your Dragon.

when websites break

while twitter is absolutely the biggest culprit of this it seems like recently i have been running into alot of sites that just go offline without warning or are 'too bogged down - come back later'. its funny how much of an impact, especially with twitter, these minor hiccups can be for some people. anyway its late and now after the point where this will count for today and will come up as tomorrow but let the record show that i was here when i mattered and the internet failed me.

today was probably the last day for a long time where the temp will break 75 deg. should have spent it on eddies.

it felt like summer, i guess it still is

i had plans to get some shit accomplished today and really had plenty of time to do so, but alas i didnt. instead o enjoyed myself, ran into a few people, saw some friends apartments for the first time, and spent a chunk of my day on eddies tossing the frisbee. im either out of shape or dont realize how much physical activity is involved in running around for 45 minutes chasing the frisbee because i was definitely quite soaked and sore afterwards. worth it.

i have alot of time off until classes start again. goals for tomorrow - research new job options and buy my books online. potential problem - house marathon on USA tomorrow. ive seen them all, but its just so addicting. ive been told i spend too much of my life watching/planning around tv. i cant argue with that.
