The wall

You’ve finished your stair running and stretched your pathetic muscles.
And now the real race starts: get ready before nine.
AC is on full speed and you carry your mini-towel the whole time, ready to wipe off the abrupt moist.
It’s the same procedure everyday so you reflect on the master classes taken:
Experience is a hard teacher, because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.
-Vernon Law, Pitcher for the Pirates
But as time has finally met with what-you-must-do, you leave the apartment, and though you should know by now that the outside temperature is not your allied, the maddest wall of heat slams you straight on, all your preys are instantly towards Lou:
No one has ever drowned in sweat.
-Lou Holtz, 1937-, American Football Coach
