I don't know what it is about schools, but it seems that none of them can get the whole "temperature regulation" thing down. Yesterday, it was comfortably warm in my classroom and today as I sit here to write this all I can think is "man, I can't wait until I get back to UNH and can curl up in a blanket and make my boyfriend thaw my feet out". Tomorrow, according to my CT, could easily be a sauna. The problem being that the intern building temperature does not change in relation to the external temperature. So today was a bit chilly, overcast, and glum (there's a bit of sun now, though) and the building couldn't warm up naturally. Yet, the air conditioning unit right next to my desk is still dumping out cold air. It seems to me that it would be simple enough to design a system where the thermostat for the building was reliant on not only an internal thermometer, but an external one as well. That way, the heat wouldn't still be on when it was 80 degrees and the air conditioner would stay off on chiller days. UNH has this same problem, but that's mostly because their buildings are pretty darn old and can't go from no heat to heat to back again as quickly as a more modern system.
On that note, only 6 more hours until I can go be truly warm again.
