it's a bit cold here

Today was my first day at City College of San Francisco. Here is a picture of the very university looking junior college from the perspective of the major parking lot. It's a nice summers day in the photo, with a great big blue sky towering over the science hall. (That's the big building off in the distance.)

Now, it is a pretty cool school from what I can gather. My teacher today, Mr. Graves, seemed very competent, and ready for this Philosophy 12A: Symbolic Logic course. He had funny jokes, and strong definitions of the basics of the course. So far, so good. I've taken a similar class at Mesa, Intro to Logic and Critical Thinking. So, far from he 2 1/2 hour class, I've learned more, then from my former teacher. So, so far, even better. However, this picture holds a horrible horrible lie...

You'd think that today, it being AUGUST and all, would be a day like the one in the picture. Big blue, clear sky, sun beams caressing the school. No. Not at all. Today it was 50 degrees at my school. I think that it sometimes drops that low at night in like January in San Diego, sometimes. No, it's the middle of August and it's 50 degrees in the middle of the day! I am just appalled by the weather here. I even wore an undershirt, and a sweater, but I was still freezing. In San Diego, it is, or it's almost the warmest time of year. I remember baking away in classes in High School, in early September. Some years, it's still smoldering well into October!

Now, we live in the same state. I should think that San Diego could share some of the warmth. I mean, I'm going to have to start wearing leggings, and scarfs, and warm hats... the whole nine yards. And it's not just that the air is 50 degrees, it's also the 100 mile an hour wind that beats you with it's coldness. That is just flat out mean. It's just mean.

People wonder why I don't like it here all that much, the weather is like at the top of my, why San Diego is better then San Francisco list. Just when I was starting to like this place too, it has to go and get all artic on me.

Tomorrow I have a follow up interview with City Box Office, so I'll need job getting vibes, plus warm vibes! WARM VIBES.......
