pray for spring

i never thought it would happen, but i actually have a roommate who likes the room to be colder than i do. previous roommates will concur, i'm sure, of my preference for cooler temps. i come from sturdy stock. my parents actually think i do like it warm, but that's because they keep the house ridiculously cold all winter, to save money i suppose...that's besides the point...

anyway, the past week or so, my roomie has been opening the window a crack before she goes to bed. granted, the insane heat of dorms often requires extreme measures. and granted that it does tend to be a bit warm in our room before we go to bed. and by a bit warm, i mean about 73 degrees. oh, and she has a thermometer, so i'm not making these numbers up.

by the time i wake up in the morning, it's below 60 degrees in our room. that's really cold.

i've put all my blankets on my bed. i sleep next to my sweatshirt, for easy access in the middle of the night.

but can i actually be so nonconfrontational that i won't ask my roommate to shut the window because i'm freezing cold?

yes, yes i can.

so, please, do me a favor. pray that spring will come. that the nights will go above freezing. that there won't be any more snow.


there's supposed to be snow tonight. sigh.
