challenge

HIYA!

I decided to go out and challenge the cold. Without my big jacket that doesn't keep me warm anyway. To my shock and amazement, well, I was somewhat shocked and amazed!, I was not so cold at all. Despite the wind. I walked to the market in part to look for a warm jacket at a low low cost. Didn't find anything. I've seen some on the sidewalk, at a small stall set up selling cheap cheap clothing. $5. I have decided to try one on. Didn't find anything today quite that cheap. $30. I've decided that if I spend any more than the $5 or maybe $10, then I'm going to get a good jacket. From Patagonia. Because I like their environmental policies. I can get some models here in Korea. I don't know what the temperature was this morning but it couldn't have been much more than 10 degrees celcius, or in the mid-40s, I guess. Maybe upper 40s. Cold, anyway. Then, after the temple this evening, I got in the car of the lady who takes us all home, and saw the termometer in her car said 6 degrees! I was dressed the same way that I was in the morning and wasn't overly cold. I walked to the temple, so that helps warm me up, for sure. But still, I was really surprised. This time I was shocked. But I would like to have a warm jacket because it's really nice to feel toasty warm. And as often as not, I am not walking. I'm pretty cold at school. Buildings are often colder than the outside cold. Or maybe it just feels colder. Whatever, I would like to have something warmer at times. We have heaters at school but in the little office where the teachers sit, there usually isn't a heater. We don't spend much time there, usually. So one isn't necessary.

Ah,
Troy.
