Today, I ran into a problem.
A BIG problem.
You see the country that I want to go to is Switzerland.
aaaand in Switzerland they actually have seasons.
Thats right, Seasons!
And me, being from an island in the middle of the pacific, has never seen seasons changing.
And what do seasons change from?
spring
to
summmer
to
fall
to
winter.
And what happens during winter and fall?
it gets cold.
And that is the root of my problem. Growing up with 80 degree weather your whole life and living in slippers and shorts and not even knowing what to wear in snow and cold weather is a big issue for me.
I only own one thin longsleeve shirt!
How am i going to cope?
So then my mom and I went to sears to look for some winter clothes (eg turtlenecks).
What did we find?
nothing.
