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.
So...I think we had one day of heat here and it wasn't even that bad. It's still pretty cold.
ReplyDeleteI dont know which is better... extreme heat or kinda cold weather for summer. Why cant it just be an amazing 75-80* for everyone all summer!?! thatd be perfect !
