How Did I Get into Law School?

For the past few weeks, my roommate and I have been sitting in our apartment freezing cold. I would layer myself in long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts, wear wool socks and my moccasins, and wrap myself up in blankets. I really thought that we were just weak Californians, unable to deal with the 30 degree weather outside. And we even had the heat on full blast...or so we thought.

Since my roommate and I have spent the vast majority of the past few weeks cooped up in our apartment studying for finals, I didn't think we fully registered that our apartment was significantly colder than most living spaces should be. That is until we went to study at our friends' apartment and were really warm. Maybe I wasn't crazy for thinking that the air coming out of our heater wasn't as warm as it was supposed to be. So we finally put in a work order and the apartment repairman came by.

Turns out our heater was broken. Instead of it being 75 degrees, as we had set it to, our apartment was actually around 50 degrees. The nice repairman fixed our heater and replaced the burnt out light in our dining room. Wow, what a difference. Warmth!

Though I might not be as climate-challenged as I thought I was, I might just make up for it in being common sensically challenged.
