2 Jun 2007 - Still Settling In



So I ran out of smokes and the PX has none. Luckily the gift shop had a few packs. Seems to me that bartering will do you well around here. It was hotter today than yesterday, and the phones and computers are down at the MWR tent - BOO!! I haven't talked to my family at all yet and my mom is gonna be upset if she doesn't hear from me soon.
Working the weekends doesn't seem like it will bother me too much - there isn't shit else to do and at least there is A/C at work. The A/C makes my whole tent shake and this pen sucks so my writing is really shaky. These dirka hadji cigarettes taste like ass, maybe they'll force me to quit... Nah, unlikely.
As ridiculous hot as it is here I woke up shivering last night. The A/C blows right on my head so I taped over the rip that allows it to do so. Either way I got little sleep last night. Hopefully I'll get better sleep tonight.


I drank alot of water today, and I don't look forward to the walk to the head I'm inevitably going to have to make - probably right after I fall asleep. The Djiboutians seem nice - I'll talk more about them later.
