Default Typical A/C problems in mid-summer (why me).

I just filled my A/C with coolant. I checked for any leftover gas, after about two seconds it was empty. Then I filled with the A/C on max. And still there is no change in temp. What could be wrong with my system. I dont know much about A/C systems. Hurry it is freaking hot over here!!!!

Dont tell me you filled it with coolant... Coolant is for the engine cooling system, whereas freon is for the A/C.
