How does a heat index off 115 degrees sound? Now imagine that in an apartment with no air conditioning!!! I have a few fans in my enlarged box that is a room, but it's just blowing hot air around. It's so hot **Everyone reply: How hot is it?** It's so hot that the heat somehow managed to deflate my air mattress yesterday (Yes, I'm sleeping on an air mattress for 10 months), so I blew it back up right before I went to bed, and in the middle of the night I sunk down into the middle of the thing, almost to the point where my back was touching the ground. Not the most comfortable night.
Speaking of the night. Last night I hung out with fellow Blue Liner (Marietta Alum for you Pittsburgh readers) Andrew Bolton for a good five hours, which provided me with the best experience of D.C. so far. We got a bite to eat and went back to his place, watched the D.C. United soccer game and slugged a few beers. Then I got a call from my roommates who wanted to meet at DuPont Circle. This place is where the nightlife happens. But it was a Wednesday. Even in D.C., no one goes out on a Wednesday. We barhopped for a little, found a soccer pub with the Paraguay and Venezuela game on, and some raucous fans in attendance. Very cool atmosphere. Now we decide to go home and head for the Metro only to find out that our Metro train doesn't run that late. Sweet. We have to take a cab. So, we jump into this unmarked one driven by a Moroccan with a GPS. He gets lost about five times, and it takes close to an hour to get home. Out $29 dollars.
All in all, yesterday was full of up and downs, which seems like that's how the whole trip has been progressing. I'm thinking I'll be spending mostly all day in the Library of Congress because it's so hot out, so I may actually do some research on Marietta. Very cool town, rich in history. Similar to me: Very cool, just not that rich...
