Air Conditioning

I have a confession to make: I hate air conditioning. It's not that I don't understand why other people like it. But it has never once helped me out. More often, I find myself wondering how to deal with the temperature difference. I spend way too much time trying to figure out if I want to freeze or bake. The would you rather die in fire or ice question becomes more and more relevant.

For some background, I'm from upstate NY. Upstate is not exactly AC weather. In my town, the average high temperature in July is 81, and it drops to a comfortable (if you're not me) 57 at night. I love 75 and above, but often shiver below that. Right now, the AC is on, I'm in my room with the window open and I have my sweatshirt and sweatpants on. It is 88 degrees out according to my computer, but I'm freezing in here.

Hence the AC rant. But seriously, I don't like the severe temperature differences. Sure, it feels nice to go to 65 after being out in 90... but only for a few minutes. Then the chill begins to set in.

Living where I do, I'm sure that other people actually need AC so that they don't overheat. But then I've never lived anywhere like that. I'm hoping I will make my peace with AC out in Davis next year, but then, who knows?

Ah... the AC just turned off. Excellent! Now maybe I can focus on writing my response paper!
