14. stay hydrated.
single serving kool-aid/hawaiian punch in bottles of water are nice
also, you can trick your body. it's a nice fake out i learned in japan, take a VERY hot shower or bath, and everything feels cooler...

13. I'd say it's time to
go to a movie marathon at your local theater or hit the mall strolling and sitting or go to the local library and read - or invite yourself over to a friend's house or something -


Just stay COOL.
