Hello Heat Stroke

[cornerofmadness]

So today was founder's day. It's the day where the faculty get to parade around in our regalia for the freshman so they can 'meet' us and get some historical pride (yes, they force them to come to this for credit because why else would they?)

THey decided to have it outside today because it was so beautiful. Okay it was. It was cloudless, warm, sunny...and did I mention sunny? Yeah like in fiery molten sunny? And we're in black polyester robes. This was an exercise in torture. We were sweaty, sun burned, stinky and sick by the time we could escape.

I'm one of the few who read the whole email and KNEW it was outside. I wore something lightweight and brought my sunglasses (but grabbed the wrong ones and had the Ed Hardy ones with the flaming skulls! HA!) J. spent the hour and a half continually hitting me because ants kept divebombing me from the maple tree we were under. L. succintly put it as 'i sweat less biking 10 miles to work'. It was just that miserable. I was lightheaded and nauseated in class afterwards. Whee fun.

However our presidents past sound like they could have been headmaster at hogwarts. Ransom Dunn, Albanus Avery Moulton, Alphus Christensen, Clodus Smith....
