Bearing Down

At first I was a bit bafted by my intense laziness and endless desire to do nothing, I mean nothing, but sleep.

Working 4 hours is hardly enough to wear a person out.*

And then I remembered that I did this exact same thing last winter.  I'd work a few hours at school teaching camp, have lunch, then come home to spend the next 3-4 hours slightly comatose in my bed.

If it were an issue of light - I'd write it off as SAD; however, Busan is gorgeously sunny throughout the winter.

The only issue is the cold.  

It's freezing.  And windy.  

These coupled together just cut into your person and strike down to the bone - making your bed the only real place you want to be.

No point meeting up with friends after work, because you can't do anything but go indoors.

Perhaps it is a sad issue (plus not as many people get half days during winter camp or if they do, they are too bothered by the cold to go seeking other half-dayers and instead retreat to their homes as well).

So instead I am once again bearing down into the covers of my bed and into the pages of my books...

and am hibernating for the winter.

* I'm sure there are jobs that exhaust a person after 4 hours.  Mine is not one of them.
