brrrr

So, it is now officially winter and I am cold. I'm currently sitting in my classroom, with my sweater, winter hat and scarf. Outside its not as cold as it gets in DC, but because all the buildings (my house, the school, cafes) lack any kind of heating there is no break from the cold. The other day I taped the second door to my room shut, in an attempt to stop the draft in my room and to make it a little bit warmer. I keep being at the kitchen table wondering how cold it is outside and then realizing oh wait its just as cold as it is right here. At the supermarket, I keep looking enviously at the space heaters on sale, but my host mom laughs at me and said only really old ladies buy those. Apparently just as August is the hottest month in DC it is the coldest one here, so when you are complaining of humidity and sweat, I'll be complaining of coldness and frostbite.
