The Heat

Today is the day that I have decided that my body is a curse in the summer. This is not beach-body related, or even about tanning. It's just I can't stand the heat. Even as I speak I am soaked in my own sweat.

"Turn on the AC you moron."

Here's my rebuttal for that little bit of advice: a) I'm super cheap especially b) my first month here of using the AC in moderation during the day and leaving it on at night to help me sleep my electric bill was almost 300,000 won. Which is what you would pay for a house, not an open concept apartment. It really rattled me so I've been using a fan more often then not. Going for walks is also a nice way to avoid turning on the AC or AirCon as the Koreans say. I also chose to settle with my second-hand fan.

Today I decided to walk home from school which takes a scenic hour and a half. I planned on doing this every afternoon after camp but after today I'm reconsidering. The front of my shirt had 3 sweat stains alone. Disgusting, I know. I almost took a picture then figured showering would feel much better.

I'm really hoping my body can adjust to this humidity if not I'm going to start keeping my underwear in the freezer and have deodorant  and a tray of ice cubes on me at all times. I can't even get to school without getting a little sweaty. Life is literally shit. Another story. I could ring my shirt out after Ultimate pick-up last Sunday at least I know I'm hydrated.

So as you look at yourself in the mirror in your swim trunks or bikini making mental dotted lines around your love handles and pot-belly like a plastic surgeon be thankful you're not sweating too.
