So for the last couple of days, Ken and I have been teaching the afternoon English class together. I went around the room and asked each person what they did before class. Most people said that they woke up, took a shower, ate breakfast and went to school in broken English. I got to Ken and I figured I’d ask him too even though he speaks English quite a bit better than the other students ☺ He said, “I woke up, I ate breakfast and I sweated.” It was a new word to these students, but a very important word for them to know in this country. So we taught them to say it in past present and future tense.
Every night it’s a struggle to stay cool enough to sleep. I’ve been waking up around 6am each morning to run, but it’s still brutally hot at that hour of the day. I sweat so much when I run that my hands get wrinkly from the sweat. It’s like I took a 2 hour bath and my hands are all pruned up from it. No matter where I sit, my butt is wet from sweating when I stand up. It’s embarrassing, but at this point, I’m getting used to looking like I peed my pants all the time. I know I’m a woman, but I don’t glisten here, I sweat. A lot. We don’t have air conditioning anywhere but the local mall, so most days off we just go there and stay for 10 hours to get some relief. Praise the lord for A/C.
