I can feel cool air again

Finally, after over 6 months of living with a crappy air conditioner, our unit got replaced.

Oh it's marvellous, you can actually feel cool air! The old unit we kept on high constantly, even during the winter months, and you could barely feel it. Even my roommate, who's head is right over it when she sleeps, couldn't feel much air. It was ridiculous.

When I first complained and got a maintenance guy to come up, he just said "oh, some units don't work as well"...thanks guy, great answer. Bullshit. With a little over a month left in the school year, we've had it with this air conditioner and I went back down to residence life and complain. We're planning on spending next year in the same room, so there's no need to be stuck with a crappy A/C unit.

This time they sent a maintenance guy who actually took the unit apart to see what was the trouble. Within a half hour of his active repair attempt, he decided to bring us a new one. Or, well, a refurbished one.

Finally! Now that wasn't so hard, was it school?

Now my roommate needs to get her bed fixed (it's dangerously wobbly) and we should be all set to have a comfy stay next year.
