well technically, however unlikely, i could still get a 4.0 this semester. there is an extra credit opportunity in adolescent worth 5 points. so getting that, and if i got 100% on the final, i’d get an A and a 4.0. BUT…i can’t do the extra credit BECAUSE I’M THE ONE RUNNING THE STUDY!!!!!!!!!! so i talked to the proff, and she said if i outline the review sheet for the final and turn it in i can get the 5 points. but i’m sure i won’t get 100 on the final, so i still won’t be getting a 4.0. blah.
well the AC issue. swealtered last night with the windows open. which meant waking up at every sound outside…at 3:30 am when a sorority pledge class had to jog by…and at 8:15ish when the first set of kids went off to class….and 9:15 ish when the next set went by etc. great. so a guy came to look at the AC around 11. 10 min before he came, it turned back on and started to work. however, i don’t exactly find it to be cool in here, it’s still about 75 according to my thermometer in my room. anyway, the AC guy was telling us about how retarded the engineers were when they built the heating system etc (already knew that, who doesn’t know heat rises so furnace can’t be on the 3rd floor). apparently in order for the heat to kick on, it must be lower than 58 degrees outside. for the AC to turn on it must be warmer than 72 degrees outside. so between 58-72 you just get the blower recirculating the house’s air. well that’s fucking retarded. i understand that at a state school they’re trying to conserve energy and stuff. but there is no way it was cold enough for the AC to turn off. it was 80 in here!!! that warrents the need for AC!! it should have nothing to do with outside temp. if we’re hot, we should be able to press ON and have the AC go on. if we get cold, because maybe it cooled down outside, we can turn it OFF! a switch! that’s all i want. arg. it’s frustrating. thankfully we only have a month left here.
anyway. going to do my writeups for my newsletter today i think. maybe some other work since i did nothing yesterday. started reading adolescent, but had to go fill out the survey, then danielle came in to watch tv which led to the all night tv watching that went on yesterday. i’m tired.
and oh yeah. this is way too early for me to really be saying this but…. HAHA REDWINGS!!!!!! go vancouver!!!!
and one last thing. i really hate the smell of humans in hot weather. not necessarily BO cuz in the morning most ppl have showered and smell fine. but there is a distinct smell that is different in the summer than in the winter…like everyone’s perfume and cologne is alot stronger, cuz the sweat resets it off…this is a revolting topic so i’m gonna stop.
Kurt: I was talking about this with others. One difference with our generation is that years from now, we’ll be able to show our grandkids scars we got in like, mosh pits and stuff. All our grandparents can do is show us scars THEY got from like, war
me: LOLOL
AC broken again. called maintence. it was about 74 when i got home from class at 12:30, it’s now 80 again. no cold air coming out of the vents at all. they told me the guy who came this morning left already, so dunno when someone is gonna come by. great.
ok so they just called (15 min later ish) to talk to me and ask me the temp inside. it’s 78/80 in my bedroom. she says, well the AC won’t go on until it’s over 78. i’m like no that’s NOT what he told us this morning. he told us the AC would go on if it was over 72 OUTSIDE. she’s like well he just told me 78 inside. i’m like no, because the AC worked fine the whole rest of the week until yesterday, and it was about 70/72 in here until last night when it stopped working. so she was like, hold on. and then came back on and said they were going to send someone over.
ok i’m not RETARDED. you can’t fucking tell me that the AC doesn’t go on until it’s an oven inside your house. if i had the money i’d hire my own goddamn repair man. someone who actually knows how to work heating and cooling systems. assholes. all of them.
ok maintence called back again. i think it was the guy who came this morning. this is the story. because the downstairs thermostat reads 74/75 the AC isn’t going on because it’s set to keep it 74 in the house. the school determines the temperature setting and gives us 2 degrees of latitude to change it. so i asked him why the hell was the AC fine the whole rest of the week, it was cool in here, and we had no problems. he said we were all supposed to be notified of this, but apparently we weren’t, that the school changed the temperature setting to 76 instead of 72 because everyone had doors and windows open, which was making the ACs run constantly. so our 2 degree latitude is lowest possible temp of 74. which i guess would be fine except THE HEATING SYSTEM DOESN’T WORK RIGHT AND UPSTAIRS IT’S SWEALTERING. so i asked him if they were going to change it back because it was unbareable. he said he complained to his supervisor about it, and took my name to file a complaint on my behalf. because really. i am dying here. i’m on the verge of tears i’m so hot. ok not that much, but i’m sweating to death. yeah and we have AC.
everything would be solved if they gave us an on off switch. people who wanted to open windows could turn it off, ppl who wanted AC could turn it on. or it would be nice of the school to tell us how these things work so we wouldn’t have to be constantly calling emergency maintence to fix shit. and maybe everyone with their windows open would close their windows so that the AC would go on, since the AC is never going to go on if they don’t.
i’m going to go take a hair dryer to the thermostat.
ROFLOMG maintence just called me back and was like “do you have a hair dryer on your thermostat” ROFLMAO OMG!!!!!! so i go, yeah i had to do something it’s so hot. he’s like i can see that. (i guess they have a central reading thing for the temps). so now he tells me they’ve decided to switch it back. so that the set temp is 72, and we can change it to 68 or 78. so i said thanks, and that it might be a good idea if we were notified of how this stuff works, since everyone in our building has their windows open thinking the AC is just flat out broken. if they knew how it worked, they’d shut the windows and all would be good. he’s like, well i have nothing to do with that. i have to contact the supervisor who is supposed to contact reslife with the info they’re supposed to pass on to you. so yeah we won’t get notified. but nice to know they’ve decided to change it back.
i’m tired of talking to maintence so let’s hope they don’t need to call back. haha the call about the hairdryer really threw me for a loop ROFL
it’s a quote day. from an old irc log about “foo fest”
Andy: when you smile you have to cock your head sideways 90 degrees 🙂
i wish i spent as much time on my real school work as i’ve spent on my reviews for my comp art news letter. i’ve only done one review so far (NIN live disc/dvd) and it’s over a page long single spaced. and i’ve edited it like 5 times. lol. i wanted to do all 3 or 4 of the reviews today, but got distracted by amanda, and helping her come up with themed food for an 80s restaurant. haha.
going to see the musical theatre club performance thing tonight. it starts at 8, but we’re going at 7 because it’s always super popular. tonight is the first night, so there is actually a possibility we won’t get in…parents, family etc get first dibs on seats before doors open to the public. since it’s free, and it’s always so good, lots of people show up. tonight is the only night we can go tho, since we’re going home tomorrow so….hoping we get in. if we don’t get in though, i need to do some reading and maybe the rest of my reviews. you know, most people are going to just copy shit from the web for their news letter (since we are allowed to)….i’m probably the only one who’s going to do it all on my own. lol
going to see the musical theatre club always makes me wish i had talent. it was really good, once again. they did some fun songs, and they did “ease on down the road” from the wiz lol. and i must say i really love “Aquarius/let the sunshine” from Hair. it was a good time. hotter than hell tho, so it’s nice to be back in the AC 🙂
i have a massive headache and i’m starving. and i feel all gross… that whole hating how humans smell thing was in full effect at the show…extremely warm enclosed space. i dunno why i’m noticing it so much lately lol.
HFS!! just got a phone call from Kevin, in the UK, who i haven’t talked to in years (cuz he never answers email)…i was like how the hell did you get my number?…yeah duh, the geneseo site lists them lol. it was super great to talk to him again, caught up on shit, talked about the old friends, and the good old days hehe.
