Well, I have been informed that I do not win the heat battle. I tip my hat to those of you living in New Hades, formerly known as Oregon. I hope all of us get cooler weather soon.
So ready for this crap to be over. One more day of classes, and maybe a little mini class on Friday, but I'm not really looking forward to it because it's all testing and the mysterious mass media revenge scenario, whatever that turns out to be. I have failed so far in organizing presentations or gifts, and I am rapidly running out of care. ARGH.
These last few days are going to be full of stupidity, not learning. Wah.
On the other hand, Polly, my amazing teacher from St Petersburg, has agreed to hang out on monday, so that's going to be awesome. Woo!
If I don't die of heatstroke on the way home, I'm going to hike into town and try to buy plates today. If I do die of heatstroke, I'll probably stay in bed with the fan on high until I come back to life. No guarantees.
Oh, you'll also be intrigued to know that today I'm documenting our daily life- I took photos of my walk to school, and the classrooms and cafe and things. I'll have to wait until I'm home to upload my photos- it's almost impossible here- but they'll be on my flickr in a week or two.
Well, TTFN my buddies.

I have broken down and accepted an AC. Installed it last night. Couldn't take the heat any longer. Unfortunately it's a very small AC and it had to be put in a window in the dining room, BUT when things get really bad (and they are really bad) I can go sit at the dining room table and imagine normalcy.
ReplyDeleteAnd with regard to presents? I think we'd all over here agree that YOUR PRESENCE will be more than presents enough. Well, you and your Flickr account. Yep. The Flickr account is a point much in your favor. Teehee.
Oh, that said, I must confess, I'd really love to see a Russian (or Tatar) newspaper...? GGG
Oh dear I just erased my comment again - sacrifice a pair of pants - cut them off (if it is socially acceptable) and I will replace them when you get home.
ReplyDeleteTC brought over a window AC last night - it is moderating the temp on the firstfloor - we'll see what it does with the predicted 107 tonight. It was 80 on top of MT. Hood yesterday.
I won't send hugs - too hot - but I will be standing by at the airport with the latte unless you will have had several in DC.
