BIG NEWS!

OUR AIR CONDITIONING IS WORKING AGAIN!!

for those of you who did not know, my AC has been out in my DC apartment for over a month now. and basically, every monday we would get an email saying that it would be fixed by the next monday. and then the next monday, after we had all arrived home eager to be greeted by a rush of cold air, only to be sorely disappointed, we would get the same email. and so it went for many days of the DC summer on the 8th floor of the cosmopolitan. oh, and i was not allowed to complain or take the landlord up on her offers to stay with her b/c i am a subletter who is not supposed to be there and even tho i was the only person living in the apartment for the entire month, i was also the only person to whom her offers did not apply. alas. but it was really ok.

anyways, it got fixed yesterday!! it is very exciting. of course, i only have another week. but i am also getting back a month's worth of rent (assuming i do not get screwed) and it is very easy to buy me with money, so i only feel slightly put-out by the whole situation.

so really, the whole point of that email was just to share that the AC is working. i do not know how i said so much. oops.
