It's getting HOT in here

It feels like a humid indoor swimming pool, a workout center with no air conditioning, a sauna--with that dense, thick, sticky air! On rainy days, I lift my umbrella up and down as I pass the other umbrellas, and I avoid wearing flip flops that splash dirt up onto my skirt. It is monsoon season in Korea. All of the Koreans are going on vacations, trying to get away from the weather...while I'm struggling to acclimate to the humidity and warm temperatures. The other night I was so miserable--I was too hot to wear anything but underwear, but kept waking up in the middle of the night from being attacked by the mosquitoes in my room! Feels like camping! haha. Everyday, my morning walk to work is quite a chore, arriving to work damp and sweaty, desperately planting myself in front of the air conditioner to restore my feminine Korean woman look before class begins. And the worst part is that the weather zaps my energy! I wouldn't dream of doing things like working out or going on a hike or bike ride, let alone taking unnecessary trips out of my house in this weather. I just feel like sitting in front of the air conditioner and avoiding the outdoors. EWWWE!
