Last night we lost our building's electricity for 4 hours. I think that some idiot cut something that he wasn't supposed to because no one would give us a straight answer and they claimed to be 'working' on the mosque down the road at 10:00pm which caused the outage. It turned out alright because my neighbors and I sat out in the hall for a while and chatted. This was only possible because the incredibly opressive heat has been replaced by a nice summer heat. I eventually gave up and went to bed without air conditioning. Of course, at 1:30 everything came back on and woke me up but at least I didn't wake up in a pool of my own sweat this morning.
It was so nice today that the students opened the windows and I taught class to a lovely breeze blowing in and the sound of songbirds.
The latest update on my internet is that the company is going to dig a hole for the fibre optic cable this week. I may be stupidly optimistic but I'm going to assume that I'll have internet by next week sometime. I wonder if I should buy a shovel and offer to help out :)
