Water Cooled Methods for cooling in hot weather

So I have an idea and that is to full the freezer full of water containers. After they are frozen I'll put the ice into a bath of cold water with the fan infront of the door to cool my room.
The brightness gets through the window so I might have to put something round it.
Do you think this might work for a short while?

I'm sure that EVERYONE WHO MATTERS on this forum knows where you live at, but I'm not one of them, sorry.
(Before anyone gets river-bottom-mud-sucking-badger-whacked-MAD at me, I was being sarcastic, for chrissakes.)

I was thinking of buying an old freezer and practically using that to cool the room down with a fan in front.

Wait, that doesn't actually help that much.

I'd recommend getting big, black curtains to cover the windows. The darker they are, the more light they will absorb. And as someone who's lived in the South her entire life, I can say that during the summer months you can have no greater friend than a fully functioning air conditioning system. It will be well worth the investment in the long run.

I thought of going swimming but what is stopping me:
(1) Possibly getting into a pool full of chemically santized urine that makes my hair itch.
(2) The local pool I last went around ten years ago threw me out. I kept on complaining to the lifeguard about a girl in a group who kept on throwing a ball in my face which kept on hurting. He saw it, kept on laughing and told me to take it easy. It landed on my face once again and I threw the ball back at them and it landed on her face.
She ran out screaming and hitting her head at the lifegaurd. I got out and we had a quarrel, everyone started too look at me discrimatingly whilst arguing. Whilst that girl kept on crying and hitting herself for pitty.
The life guard kept on pushing me into the changing rooms and told me to get changed.
I said "I'll complain about this."
He said "You are lucky they are not calling the police."
"She kept on throwing the ball in my face, I promptly went up to her and politely asked her to stop as it hurt and as it says on the rules. You even saw it, so why didn't you warn here and send her out in the first place?"
"We are not talking about her, we are talking about YOU! She is only a girl."
"For someone that is reasonable tall, can speak, can throw a ball at people's faces she should take responsibility for her own actions in the pool like everybody else so why should she be any different?"
"Come on get changed!"
"In front of you?"
"Yes."
"No way, what are you a pervert, wouldn't you do the same to that little brat?"
"I'll make a note of that." - Now realizing that he means to report me.
"Ah so you are admitting it? So you get a pleasure from seeing people get changed?"
I just put my trousers on above my swimming gear to walk home.
The receptionist was utterly rude and threatened to use the life guard to throw me out as I attempted to use their pay phone.
When I complained nobody was interested to take accounts on what happened.

"Maybe artists shouldn't talk about their art."
"Well kids, I guess your father isn't a hermaphrodite."

Someone always used that in conjunction of nickname for me.
I was thinking of putting large amounts of water inside the fridge to freeze first for a little boost.That is something for me to try as it does not appear to use up much. Only for a couple of weeks I need it.

The bucket is starting to form ice at the top. I put the freezer on boost so I hope I'll have a part of the day when it will be cold here.
Someone called me tricky because of my methods of approach even though most were effective.
I could build a little wooden tall unit with a large sink bowl at the bottom and twelve volt fans blowing down on ice with a large fan ontop. I feel this would be a waste of time as my work mainly gets half done before.
