Colddd!

Its been brrringly cold here the past few days and in an attempt to keep warm, I’ve been wearing layers and layers of clothing. I really don’t mind the cold, but whats bugging is the dryness that it creates on the skin. Apparently, the only way to deal with dry skin during winters is to use moisturizers, which I absolutely hate – they make you feel so girly!! To keep the room warm, my roomies and I have closed all the doors and windows (barring one – to avoid suffocation), switched to yellow bulbs and leave our notebooks running through the night in the hope of generating enough heat to allow for a comfortable sleep. (I wish we could get one of those DLP projectors they use in the insti – they generate so much heat that it feels comfortably numb just sitting next to them) Although we haven’t been able to crack the ‘comfortable sleep’ part, our room has indeed become slightly warmer compared to the other rooms in the hallway which is a good sign. Now for more research on inexpensive ways to keep warm.
