I’m in my very last year of undergraduate school as a biology student.
- Things haven’t been especially straightforward over the last year.
I had exams a week ago plus I’m still waiting to see what my scores are going to be. I’m not entirely preoccupied with my GPA so long as I don’t get anything lower than a high B, but it’s still frightening. The graduate school I will attend sent me an acceptance letter in the mail not so long ago, so that has taken some of the pressure off with my ongoing academic performance. They just don’t want to see my grades easily slip during my senior year. As a whole, I’ve managed to sustain my common grades. However, I haven’t been exactly comfortable recently in both my dorm plus in all of my classrooms. Depending on what building you choose to occupy on campus right now, you would either feel too nippy or too hot. It’s the cold season, but some of the boilers aren’t functioning in various places throughout the whole campus. The building that houses my dorm is one of the places with a boiler that is not functioning. I’ve been easily freezing in my room while trying to desperately rest every night while shivering on a regular basis. I had to purchase an area heating appliance this past week just to keep warm. I heard from one of the maintenance workers that the administration had ordered an industrial boiler rental while repairing the broken boiler in our building. Every part of me hopes the rumor is true, because this small plus flimsy area heating appliance isn’t going to hack it in this brutally cold weather.
