The Heat Is On

As I sit here in this sweltering heat I reminisce on song "96 Degrees in the Shade". In the Virgin Islands summers are very hot even though one can catch a faint breeze from time to time. With this type of heat, it is very difficult at times to concentrate. Most houses on the islands are not equipped with air condition units; therefore, one does not have the luxury of escaping summer's warmth in their homes. Fans render absolutely no relief and all one can do is wear as little as possible in an effort to get some relief.

As the semester winds down the temperature on St. Croix is rising and this makes it hard for me to sit and focus on my reading assignments. I have picked up "Infotopia" at least six times and can't seem to get past the first chapter so I decided to work on my technology assignment until the coolness of the evening offers some comfort.
