dorm group event, bank, blueberries, and my aversion to the sun grows deeper

dorm room late night - The restaurant was pretty tasty but there wasn't enough food to go around with so many of us. Did get to talk to a lot of people in the dorm though. Apparently there is a large group of American students from Dickinson University here for a month program. One didn't get placed in our room so that is why I didn't know about them before last night.

Today I opened a bank account with UFJ bank. It only took 20 minutes. Then later I went to MER (My English Room) for the Thursday night Japanese lesson. I helped close up and Judi (another staff member) walked with me to the subway station. She was going a little farther but I went into the station and came back here to the dorm. Tomorrow when I go into work Judi and I are making blueberry muffins to sell to the customers!! I really miss cooking and baking; I haven't done it in so long. So I am looking forward to that. ^_^

It is still so hot and miserable during the day. I hate it. I try so hard to not let it get to me but it makes me exhausted all day long and I am always on the verge of a headache. Only when the sun goes down does it cool off. When the sun goes down I feel like I am waking up to a new day for the first time. It is so cool and breezy and it is dark so my eyes don't hurt and my almost headache goes away. I want the rainy season to arrive so badly. It may get even hotter but at the very least it won't be bright. I wish I could work and study at night and sleep all day... but alas I cannot.
