4 July
Happy Independence Day, and all that. The 4th for us means that we got to sleep in an extra 30 minutes, and got out of classes today at noon. Of course, I had to meet w/ my collaborative to work on our unit and lesson plans until 3, so no big bonus. Looks like I'll be heading out to the Island to visit EF and HV, should be a good time, probably will finish my lesson plans by laptop on the train. Hope the battery holds up. Weather continues to be unbearably hot, today 108 heat index. Apparently last year, so many people at the institute hooked up that it was called jokingly "Sleep with America." With the weather as it is, we agreed today that any physical contact whatsoever would be completely unbearable, and that the cold shower every morning was indeed better than sex.
