Heat

I have found that summer is much more unbearable when I have to live in the heat. I've been spoiled with nicely air-conditioned apartments at college, but this summer I'm not so lucky. The house where I live is un-air-conditioned. It's not hard to get my room fairly cool at night, because I have a window unit, but when I get back from work, after a day with the unit turned off, my room is stifling.

Thank goodness for Otter Pops. I just grab one from the freezer when I get home, trudge upstairs, turn the window unit on and suck on my Otter Pop until it gets to a bearable temperature in my room.

I wish I could have Otter Pops on my way home from work, though, because I hate walking around in Utah heat. 5 minutes after I get outside, I'm covered in a thin sheen of sweat. I don't understand how people can love summertime. I hate it. It's the most uncomfortable time of the year.
