So about a week ago I decided to turn the heat on for the first time in my apartment. My roommate and I decided that we didnt want to turn it on until it was absolutely necessary, but I was all alone and i was COLD. Plus I had to see if it actually worked. So I went to the thermostat and set it at about 65. I waited a few minutes, and all of the sudden it sounded like and felt like there was a train running through my house. Remembering that the furnace is in my closet built in right next to my precious clothes, I ran into my room to make sure nothing was starting on fire. Now like I said, I was all alone so the sound of a train rolling through was very startling. That, and the thought of a heating bill danced through my head. Needless to say, I turned the heat off right away and decided it was probably best to just leave it that way. Maybe we'll turn it on when our breath is visible. Until then it'll have to be long underwear, snowgear, and snuggies.
