So for the past few days, we've had a recurring issue here in Dickson: There is no hot water. Now, this issue seems to be erratic. Occasionally there will be hot water, other times, there will be none and the water will be absolutely freezing. This morning is one such time. I just took the COLDEST (and probably shortest) shower of my entire life. Yes, I could have gone to a different floor's shower, but that would have taken far too long, and there would be no guarantee of their having hot water. So pretty much whenever there is hot water, you need to take advantage of it. For example, last night when I was getting ready for bed I should have taken a shower. If you get back just to grab a book and go to the bathroom in the middle of the afternoon and the water is warm: take a shower. If you wake up in the middle of the night and need to pee, and the water is warm: take a shower. Get the picture?
Now, our dorm is really the only one with this problem, seeing as it is older than Anthony Hopkins and considering that it is the biggest dorm in the Ivies. However, we don't face other problems:
At Cornell one must
Choose between paper thin walls
And ice cold water
Yep, you can have the new dorms, and be able to hear your suit-mate sneeze in the next room over, or you can have my problem. Or you can be in another dorm, but they just suck. Well, it depends. But riot-proof dorms really aren't great when you're in a rush (woooo 100 feet per minute elevators). And most of the others are butt-ugly. Except Balch. But I can't be in Balch. If only...
