Day Five

Last night five new people came in. It was so weird to answer questions about things here and explain things. It doesn't seem like it has been long enough for us to not be the "newbies". At the same time it feels like we've been here forever. One thing that makes it feel like we've been here so long is that we spend all our time at the computer lab, the days just blend together. Another thing that makes it seem so long is a saying we've had since we first got here. Since it's so humid here our skin is always sticky and when we walk to the lab sometimes we bump into each other. When that happens we say "Hey don't touch me, you're hot." Now we see who remembers to say it and who says it first.

The computers are so slow and of course everyone wants to use them to check their e-mail and stuff. But everyone comes in at once. With 12 people trying to connect to the Internet it slows it down even more. They complain about it and instead of going away and coming back later they stay and wait for the slow Internet to work. Right now we're trying to re-image the computers and that uses the Internet so it's really hard to get it done.
