| I'm sure it is. I don't even have to check my calendar. All I need to do is look at my school. Every door and every window is wide open. That must mean it's wintertime! I'm wondering why "close the door" is such a hard concept for the students to grasp. |

You forgot to add that the heater is blasting while all of this is going on. |

Would that were true! The heater is off "to save money on fuel costs." |

Not in our main office. Seems my VP can't decide if he wants frozen or toasty. |

| Fresh air only helps the students study when it's under 5 C out. It can also be helpful when the a/c is on. Fresh air between 15 and 30 however is dangerous and must be avoided. |

| I'm seriously considering making a fake newspaper article that says "Winter air coming through an open window into a room with a door also open creates the 'fan effect' and therefore is quite dangerous." |

If you make that, please send one to my school! It's $#%^% freezing in here! I'm wearing a rabbit fur sweater, wool coat and Ugg-like boots and I'm still cold. |

| I think all this heating/airing out paranoia weirdness comes from years of fire-heated ondol. Death from carbon monoxide poisoning was probably fairly common. |

Last night was cold as ice. I was outraged.
Got back home and stuck the ondol on at 80 c.
Ah winter here really makes you appreciate that ondol. |
