The speaker didn't get to finish talking before screams of pure joy rang out in the halls. Kids started to run down the halls giving each other high-fives. It was chaos! I thought school had been let out for the day. (I could only be so lucky!)
I asked my co-teacher what all the fuss was about. She told me that the air con (air conditioner) for the school had been turned on. That's right! It's July 9th and the air conditioner is being turned on for the first time this year.
"Has it been cool weather in Busan?" you might ask. Hell no! It's been HOT!!! I can handle the temperature; it's the humidity I can't stand. For those of you using Fahrenheit, it's been in the low to mid 80's. That's 26-29 Celsius. But, it's extremely sticky. The classrooms get so hot during the day, especially if there is no wind.
And, though the classrooms may have the air conditioner on, my office does not have air conditioner. So, I am stuck with the windows open and the fan on high. Oh well. I can do this! Only 8 more days left in the semester.
