Day Two Hundred and Forty-Two:  Aspiring loco

I think the heat is getting to me.  Did I start my last blog like that?  I wouldn’t know, but as for now I really I just I don’t know what to do with myself.  To combat the heat today Devra and I walked to the Boathouse and got the most delicious ice cream cones I’ve ever seen and sat in the shade watching men in canoes canoe by and combat the heat in a canoe.  I personally don’t really understand that, because it’s just looking at the water and doing more work in my opinion which ultimately makes you hotter, but we were sitting on our asses in the shade so to be honest I wouldn’t know.  We have vowed to take a canoe trip later this week, and when I say that I mean our goal is to successfully sit in a boat on the Speed River, so, dream big.

As for this heat it really needs to stop.  With the nearly five THOUSAND students moving on to campus today I really hope for their sakes that it cools down.  I remember our move in and it rained and the water was freezing cold which was so great for about two weeks while th heat wave stayed and then once it cooled down but the water didn’t warm up we were a very grumpy residence.  That sort of continues to happen in my life as move in approaches every year, it gets really hot wherever I am (Paris…England…my room in Guelph…etc.) and I complain about it a little but it could always be worse, I could be anywhere but the River Seine-oh wait, this year I am somewhere else…

Well then I’m complaining.  It’s practically September.  Couldn’t we have had this massive heat wave during early August when I was in pants and sweaters and I could’ve ventured to the beach?  Was that not possible?  No, no, and we don’t control the weather so we leave that up to forces we cannot control, but for now it seems a little ridiculous to die of heat just because I have one measilly fan and no air flow.  Ie. The ice cream binge that was yesterday.

Here’s tohard work in the new month and term, and a new school year for us, the people who strive for good grades and a balanced social life while also trying to not die of heat in our apartments.
