Post #7 Here Comes The Sun

Now I think that it was pretty obvious today that the heat (around 80 degrees) was like something we have seemingly never experienced, now that we live in the lovely -but chilly- Happy Valley. I never thought that I would be living in a place where I knew about the predicted temperature 3 days prior, or that everyone would be talking about it. Sunday night around 11:30 pm, I checked the weather forecast for one last time. It was still predicting Monday to be sunny and 80. THIS WAS A MIRACLE. For once I was actually excited to get up for class this morning because I knew that my first step outside would bring warmth and joy. I don't know about the rest of you, but for my first summer-like day I planned to fully commit. Here is my list of things to do when you haven't felt true warmth (other than Penn State's blasting radiators) in more than 6 months.

Step 1: Wake up about 30 minutes earlier than usual, for the pure bliss of being alive and healthy... Because for some reason I am more thankful to be alive when I am warm.
Step 2: Shower and apply make up as if I will be seen by someone I actually want to impress... Don't act like you look your best for a day that you have one class with a professor and people that you do not in any way strive to impress.
Step 3: Wear a sun-dress. (sorry guys but this one is for the ladies) If you didn't wear some sort of dress or summery skirt today, you know you wanted to.
Step 4: Use earthy canvas bag instead of black jansport backpack... because the beautiful sun does not  deserve to be blinded by my dark depressing backpack.
Step 5: While walking to your one and only class of the day, text your best friend hoping they aren't busy and opt to skip class to have lunch with them. Sorry but it had to be done. I mean really IT WAS 80 DEGREES OUT.

Step 6: After eating a salad and iced tea (because warmth makes me want to be healthy) spend next 3 hours laying in the grass somewhere doing homework... fine I read magazines, but I did try at first.
Step 7: Go back to dorm and sleep for 2 hours to regain strength since body forgot what touch of sunlight felt like and is now having dehydrational breakdown.
Step 8: Check the forecast for tomorrow and cringe at the drop in temperature.
Step 9: Stumbleupon/ Pinterest pictures of warm places, bikinis, and summer foods.
Step 10: Write blog to reiterate how badly I need another day like today, and soon!

Hope you enjoyed my post.

What did everyone else do on this beautiful day?
