It's been a horrible weather week here in Taipei. It's unbearably cold and on top of that, it won't stop raining. Taipei cold is different than any other cold I've ever experienced. It's a damp, chlling kind of cold that never leaves you. This is mostly because the houses here are poorly insulated and they don't have central heating systems indoors. So, after scooting in the rain and freezing my ass off in cold weather, I come home to damp and cold apartment. You never get that feeling of "ahhhh, i'm finally inside in a warm, fuzzy, and comfortable place" that I get when I walk in to my parent's house back in VA.
Because of the weather (and some money, visa, and job concerns), I've been feeling really bleh the last few days. I never want to get out of bed, I hate leaving my house, and I feel disappointed with myself and my current life situation. I hate looking for work because the job descriptions will either sound awesome (but will require 10 years experience) OR sound boring as hell and not challenging or interesting whatsoever. Oh the joys of looking for work!
And because I haven't done this in a while:
listening: to the sound of my mini-heater.
eating: rice and veggies
drinking: hot green tea
wearing: sweatpants, sweatshirt, scarf.
feeling: like I need a vacation.
weather: COLD and rainy.
wanting: to see a clear direction
needing: a birthday dress
thinking: when is the sun going to come out again?
enjoying: The HBO mini-series: The Pacific
wondering: should I stay or should I go?
