I’m in my last year of undergraduate school studying as a biology student.
Things haven’t been truly easy over the last semester. I had exams a month ago and I’m still waiting to see what my scores are. I’m not actually preoccupied with my GPA as long as I don’t get anything lower than a high B, but it’s absolutely daunting. The graduate school I plan to attend sent me an acceptance letter in the mail last week, so that has taken a good amount of the pressure off with my ongoing school performance. They just don’t want to see my grades make a change for the worse during my senior year. As a whole, I’ve managed to sustain my grades relatively well. However, I haven’t been especially comfortable recently in both my dorm and in all of my classrooms. Depending on what building you happen to be in right now, you would either feel too freezing or too blazing hot. It’s the gelid season, but some of the boilers aren’t even functioning in many locales throughout the whole campus. The building that houses our dorm is a single one of the locales with a boiler that needs to be repaired. I’ve been severely freezing in our room while trying to desperately get some precious rest every evening while shivering non-stop. I had to purchase a section heating machine yesterday just to stay warm. I heard from a single one of the maintenance staff members that the administration had ordered an industrial boiler rental while trying to work on the broken boiler in our building. I need this rumour to be true, because this small and flimsy section heating machine isn’t going to work for me with this freezing weather.
