Early to bed

I'm currently in my room wearing a tank top and shorts with the ceiling fan on high and a cup of water next to my bed to quench any late night thirst (with a lid on top of course...lots of bugs). Yeah, it's about 10:30, and it's actually my bed time. It sounds weird, I'm sure, especially to all of my friends at school, and especially those who haven't forgotten my late night escapades from freshmen year. But hey--people can change, right?

Right now, it's POURING rain outside. I love the sound though. Most of the houses in San Salvador are built open to the outdoors-- the windows have no panes really-- only a plastic sort of shutter that you can open and close. The window in my room shares a wall with the kitchen, and the window in the kitchen doesn't have any shutters at all! And neither does the back door. Just an iron kind of grate at the top. So, I can hear just about everything outside. It's very nice, especially if it's rain. (I was going to upload a picture of the kitchen window and door, but the site is being uber slow and not letting me upload the picture. So, maybe tomorrow.)
