Freezing

I'm not really sure if air conditioning is a good thing. Seeing as I only have one fan in my apartment to help combat the summer heat, coming in to the office during the week and freezing in the air is not really fun. No only does it mean that I sweat up a storm out side of the office, it means that I am wearing a wool sweater inside the office. It could be 90 plus out side, and in I am still freezing.

Of course, it is nice to be able to quickly cool off when it gets so hot outside. Yesterdays bike ride home, had me taking a cool shower almost as soon as I was in my apartment. It was a good bike ride home, I was just very dry and very hot by the end. And that is the real problem. I have to be really careful on my bike ride home, if it is too hot (it never is in the mornings) I could really over heat myself and make myself sick (which I so do not need to do). Even if it is only about a 20 to 25 minute bike ride, it could be really dangerous.

What I wonder is if I was not so used to the air conditioning, if I would be able to handle the heat better. Luckily it is not as hot out today, so we should not have that problem again tonight. Or at least that is the hope. My question is, is air conditioning actually beneficial?
