I left the house shortly after 10 am this morning. It was pouring down outside, but I walked. The walk takes 40 minutes.
Roughly halfway to school, my right arm, unprotected by my umbrella and in my second best rain jacket (the best has a hole in its sleeve, courtesy of the bridge fence), was starting to feel wet at my wrist. Also, my right foot was starting to feel damp. It didn't feel too bad, but I was pretty cold when I got to school.
When I took off the jacket, the outside and the lining of the right sleeve were soaked through, as was the wrist portion of my right sweater sleeve. I squeezed quite a bit of water out of it before class. My feet were a bit cold.
Around 1 pm, my feet were definitely feeling damp, but to such an extent that they'd feel colder if I took my boots off. So I let them be.
At 3 pm, second class started. A half hour into it, cold started seeping up my legs from my feet. I caved in, slipped off my boots, and wrapped my feet in my scarf. Both feet were not damp, but wet.
At 4 pm, we got a break. I put my boots on and went to a little used bathroom, put paper in my boots, put paper under my wet feet, took my socks off and used the hot air hand drier on my socks and the insides of my boots. I managed to half dry the socks and to warm both boots and socks enough that I could stand to put them on again, with a folded paper towel on each damp bootsole.
I didn't notice my feet too much after that. On my walk home, which was miraculously free of significant rain, my feet actually felt warm at the end, courtesy of my circulatory system's response to exertion. I normally only feel the warming effect in my hands, but I enjoyed feeling it in my feet today.
I just got home and took my boots, socks and stockings off. The stockings have a fresh hole, and the soles of my feet are wrinkled from being wet for 9 hours, but at least my feet still feel warm. And I'll be doing school work from home tomorrow.
