Quite warm in the house (85F). Still refusing to put the air on, though. I have all the fans on, plus the central housefan. But it's going to cool off in a day or two, and I really don't want to run the air for a few days.

I HAVE to finish my application, today. The only thing holding me back is my statement of purpose. I can't seem to get it down. Last night, I jotted some notes. So, hopefully I can get it done.
