Feels like a SAUNA....

There were four days in the beginning of October where it felt like it was only 40 degrees outside and it didn't feel much warmer in our room. We had gotten an email from our building advisor a couple days before saying the heat had been turned on but no hot air if any at all was being blown out of our vents. We decided to send him an email asking if there was something we were supposed to do to turn it on in or room or if our heater was just not working. Not even five minutes later after sending that email, I discovered our thermometer. It had been hidden by our microwave since we had moved in and we hadn't seen it. It was set on the lowest temperature setting and that's why our room had been freezing. There were nights where I would be wearing sweatpants, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, coat, and boots trying to stay warm. Now however, sometimes I wish my room was freezing again because it has become ungodly hot. Our thermostat is set on 60 degrees and it feels like it's set at 80. Our windows are cracked to let in some cool air but it's hard to find a happy medium. Another problem that comes along with having our heat on, is how dry our room gets. My hands, lips, and nose feel dry all the time. It gets hard to breathe in and out of your nose at night. My mom tried giving me some ideas on how to make it better such as placing a cup of water on top of the heater or buying a small dehumidifier. I guess this is just something you have to deal with when you go to college. Have to love it :)
