i'm in belize again...
i'm back here.
it's too exhausting to post an entirely new entry about being here, when most of you read my entries a year ago when i was here, and many of you are getting regular emails from me anyway.
so instead, i'm just saying, hey i got here!
been cooking rice and beans.
been hot. and sweaty. that dripping kind of sweat that tickles all the way down your back, or in a V from your shoulders to your belly button.
been quiet. surprisingly, coming to belize the day after graduation may turn out to be one of the best ways to recover from 4 years of stressed-out over-exertion at Lawrence. i have quite a bit of free time, and am living alone in a 2-room apt over the office i "work" at... brought several books with me from home... have gotten through one and am now starting Life of Pi.... reading as slowly as possible, in a cat-like state of half-sleep while my fan blows straight on my skimpily-clad (heat!!) body reclined on my huge (and reasonably comfortable) double bed.
oh, and having just noticed a bit of a tingly burn on my hands, i'ma go now. let me explain first: i just cooked cabbage with onions, garlic, and habanero peppers. i did my best to not touch the seeds or juice of the uncooked peppers, but have been trying to not anything in case i'm peppery. sure enough, a little tingle, so i'd better get off nicole's computer before i make it peppery too!
the whole staff is in caye caulker today, so i'm just kickin it here -- planning to go see jerome and chalwa tomorrow.
