Today has been a miserable day for me. Students were very unresponsive, behaving like robotic units in permanent hibernation. However, the main culprit was the weather we’ve been having lately—hazy, hot, humid, no wind—in a word, awful. Furthermore this has caused my eyes to sting a bit, fortunately I have eye drops to alleviate this problem.

What the heck, I decided to clean and mop the floors this hot afternoon; it’s better to get some exercise and sweat, right. I went at it like a crazed maniac, but at least my apartment floors are clean now—ha, giving myself a pat on the back.

It’s 5:18 PM now as I write this post. Will have to cook rice for dinner, get the food sorted out, and then I’m off to teach, returning home about 9:30 PM. Boy, what a day—hope some nice friend will contact me on WLM for a chat before I hit the sack.

That’s all for now.

Argh, the weather these past few weeks has been hot, balmy and humid. Temperatures soaring into the 80s (F) or over 30C. And passing showers don’t help much, either. After that the sun comes out with a vengeance and it’s humid again. That gives me more reason to stay in the pool.

I’m also tempted to switch on the air-conditioning, but that would of course add on to my electricity bill, not to mention that it doesn’t help Mother Earth at all. So I make do with the fans, and will occasionally turn on the a/c.

Oh incidentally, the title of this post does remind me of the movie of the same name. Great flick, starring Al Pacino.
