yep, still unbearably hot here

Last night it was so hot in my apartment that I couldn't fall asleep. I've never experienced humidity like this and from what the locals tell me this year is especially bad. I have a small air conditioner in one room but I'm not using it because not only is it expensive to run but if I turn it on it'll just make it that much harder to deal with the heat when I leave my place. Well, that logic makes sense to me at least. Went running for the first time here last night. Couldn't really find a nice route but I'll try again tonight. Spent the rest of the evening reading a Henry Miller book. I got through a decent portion of it because I knew that sleeping would take a good amount of effort. Anyway, on Friday I've got my first actual work day at one of my schools. It should be interesting because I'm not really sure what I'll be doing that day but as long as I dress up and have some speeches handy I'll be fine.
