It's Winter (and I hate it!)

It's terribly cold in this part of the country, today it is -28°C, definitely too cold to stay out. Too bad because since we had our snowshoes we haven't been able to use them much: it's always too cold every weekend. And it's only the end of January, we have at least two months and a half of this weather left and I feel like I'm dying.... There is a moment in winter when it hits me: I just can't take this anymore, all the layering, the clothes, the hats, scarf, mittens, boots. Please, give me e break, I can live in sandals all year long, make it for six months in nice leather boots, but not in heavy winter boots! So, now you know it: I hate when it's so cold that just waiting outside for 10 minutes for Husband to pick me up felt like I was freezing. 

(I needed to rant about it!!!!!!)

On a totally different note I had a question and I am very curious: how many hours (per course) do you teach? In Downtown U it's around 40 hours for a 3 credits course. When I was at toxic it was 45 hours for a 3 cc. And at your institution?

Ps: If you have any survival strategy for this (f......) cold winter, please, let me know.
