The heater in Kate's and my dorm room has gone berserk. It's throwing out heat and throwing out heat, so that we feel like we're residing in the tropics (I should get a palm tree.)
And when we tried to shut the damper on the thing to reduce the amount of heat it's pouring out, we found that the knob is stuck in place (besides the fact that we can't grab it without hot pads)
We have had to have the window open, meaning we're either freezing into blocks of ice or we're boiling like potatoes. Somewhere there's got to be a balance.
Stepping from the hallway into this room is like stepping into a greenhouse. There is that much difference in temperature. I don't notice things (ever) but even I can feel it.
We complained again, and maintenance is coming down today. Most likely they will fix it so we wind up wrapping up in layers for the rest of the winter...but at least we won't be dying of heat stroke.
Finished the Twilight series, even the partial bit of Book 5 that the author posted online. I might go back and read Book 1 again, because now I understand Edward's motives (lunch, mostly) when it comes to Bella in Book 1 (Book 5 is merely the other side of Book 1-his side.)
So, here's to extreme temperature changes. I'm sitting here sweating on my upper half while my lower half gets blasted by the open window.
This is going to be a long day...
Ta,
Bec
