Dear Readers,
I am again
here in class, utilizing my time as efficiently as possible. Our lecture is done for the day and we are on
our break, waiting to take our test. Our
first test. I am feeling pretty
confident about it. I have mentioned
before that I have never really had a problem taking tests and normally do well
on them. I am counting on that same old
skill to show up again now that school is back in session. Besides, studying would just make me unsure
about what I know and then second guess myself when it counts. I have to be confident going in. Just like going back over your test after
having already finished, just to make sure.
It messes with your confidence and you second guess yourself, more often
than not changing your already correct answer into the incorrect one. So, I am ready and want to hurry up and get
it over with.
I thought we
were going to escape a wretchedly hot summer while the rest of the country suffered
for it. Here we are almost half way
through July and we really haven’t had any really hot days. Not like the summers of the past, with
temperatures rising and hovering right around one hundred degrees at some
points. It really has been a mild summer
so far, but my fear is that we are just going to pay for the good weather so
far with a rash of extreme heat for the last two months of summer. All I have to do is look at how the
temperatures have risen over the last week or so. I have a feeling the hot part of summer is
just about to start. I hate really hot
weather though. I am naturally a warm
person already, and then to compound that with high temperatures and working
out on the street where the asphalt just reflects it back up to you, it makes
it just miserable. Almost like you are
working in a dry sauna, just sweating gallons of water out of your pores. I guess it could be worse and be the exact
opposite. Working in freezing
temperatures, where you have to be bundled up with gloves and jackets and
hoods, always worrying about frostbite and windburn. I guess I don’t really know, since I have
never really experienced it. It doesn’t
seem like something I really want to try out though. So, as we prepare for the hot weather at work
with our canopies, water jugs, temperature gauges and sun hats, I just continue
to dread the actual hot days to come. So
many regulations these days, including having certain items on the job to
prevent working yourself into heat exhaustion.
All about safety. Just like hard
hats, steel toe boots and bright orange shirts for working on the street. I hope you all find a way to stay cool.
