Hotness

I only have a few minutes before class starts but I wanted to say that it has been SO hot here. I never really understood what people meant when they would talk about humidity making a difference and that 'hot' with humidity is so much worse than the Utah 'hot'. Well, it's true! It's been in the 80s the last few days here and although that might sound like it is comfortable, it's not. I walk outside for 5 minutes and I'm already sweaty and gross.

I realized this week what the humidity reminds me of. At theme parks when we would wait in line for the log ride (at Knott's Berry Farm) or pretty much any water ride at a theme park there would be those moments when you would feel this hot, sticky mist type of feeling. Where the air was palpable...yeah...that's pretty much Virginia-all the time. While some people can't wait for summer to come...I'm starting to think that I'm going to enjoy the waiting more than the actual summer.

On a totally unrelated note...this last week I started working out with my friend at her gym. It has been nice to be able to work out and not have to be in the boiling weather. Anyway, she's really into doing these full body work outs, so she'll run and then do arms and stuff. I've honestly never done arm work outs, and I realized...it is hard work. My arms have been sore for days and I all I did was bench press the bar. It's kind of pathetic, I know, but I have to start somewhere. By the end of the summer I'm going to be so buff...it's going to be great! :)
