Heat

I was warned again and again about how hot it would be when I got here. Then once I was here everyone and their mom warned me again. I think I prepared myself mentally for the heat during the day. This week it has been over 100* everyday and I think I have handled it quite well, however I did not prepare for the heat in the night...

Every night I look outside and its dark and  I think Ill just go outside for a walk or open a window to cool off. NO. bad idea. Its always hotter outside! For instance right now it is 12:30am and 87* outside. No one can warn you or prepare you for the unsettling discomfort of opening a door or window at night to get a breeze of hot air. It is the worst. It makes me sad. At least there is air conditioning inside though. I do miss a cool breeze, but I am sure the second I get back to WA I will miss the warm sunshine of Texas haha. Just cant win no matter where you go.

I checked in a 4H Roping team to my building today and boy are they a reminder of where I am! Never seen so many cowboy hats and belt buckles in my life.Plus they all smelt like a barn in my opinion. Also earlier this week I learned that everything in Texas really is bigger including bugs. Bees and Moths are the size of small birds! kinda scary...

Only New terminology in a while:
Cray-Cray = crazy

Anyways I hope to be checking things off my bucket list this week so I will keep you updated! Hopefully some more photos will be added in my next post too.
