Hot Flashes

Why is it that the university tries to have centralized air-conditioning, and then turns off the whole thing when there is a holiday? They obviously realize that not everyone celebrates Labor Day, and thus come to the office to work. Like me.

Now I am sweating. Hot flashes, enveloping my body. I feel like a woman having menopause. I want a cold bath. A pool. A water splash on my face.

I already had a frappuccino from the coffee place, but still it doesn't help.

I wish there were a switch, that I could turn on the air-conditioning. And the fact that the libraries are closed, also doesn't help, because if they were open, I would just go there and work.

Anyway, the good thing is that I am done with my cold turkey reading, and I am done halfway with my brain coloring assignment.
