Today was a great day. It was 95 degrees (we went at five so it was probably even hotter earlier in the afternoon) so a group of us went ice blocking. It was fun and my butt stayed cool ;) Before we left, a few of us even had a contest to see who could stand barefoot the longest on the blocks of ice (my idea). I failed. I could only stay on for a few seconds before I would just slide right off.
After that, four of us went to play ultimate frisbee. More people were supposed to be there but they bailed. Eventually we got a couple more. I wasn't originally going to play because I can't really throw a frisbee and I din't know to play. I ended up playing and scoring half of my teams goals! It was more fun than I thought and my throwing did improve with everyone's constant tips on how to throw straight. And while I did get pretty exhausted by the second game, it was fun physical activity (something I lack because I don't like it when it's not fun). In between the games, I swear I drank my weight in water. I'm so glad the drinking fountain produced drinkable water that was cold. Hallelujah! It wasn't smart though because having a stomach full of water did not make running pleasant. I'm pretty sure I could feel it sloshing around.
When we got back to the apartments, Sparks was having a BBQ/ pool party with a DJ. There was a great turnout. I love free food. I ate the fattest hot dog ever. It was huge! The hot dogs were on a tray right by the grill and there were tongs to pick them up. I picked them up to grab my dog and they were greasy...so I dropped them. Sill me, I thought I could catch it with my foot. Like that would be any more sanitary than the ground. I would be the one to drop them.I felt bad and tad embarrassed. luckily not too many people saw and the guy grilling said he could just put them in the fire for a minute to re-sanitize.
The DJ was not that great. One guy said he could do better so that turned into a dance party in his apartment when the party was over. It didn't last that long because the apartment was too hot and close to 10:30 the manager told him to turn it down. I was tired from the day's activities so I probably wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway. Today was an awesome day.
Oh yeah, and I've determined I have heat rash. I Googled it because I thought maybe that's what it was. You get it when you sweat and there isn't really anywhere for the sweat to go, like your pores are clogged. Well, I have it right above and below the back of my knee (along with a couple bites) from sitting and studying at my desk with my legs crossed. my room is hot because the air conditioner doesn't turn on in the bedrooms. I'm in shorts and the crossed legs lead to sweating, but it's skin on skin so there's nowhere for it to go or a way for it to dry off I guess. Ugh, this sounds kind of gross. Well, having a rash is gross. Anyway, crossed legs and sweat lead to heat rash, just so you know. And since I forgot to perfume up today, I acquired a few more bites. Lovely.
