Out in the Cold

Tomorrow they turn the heat on in our dorm. At long last...no more waking up with that slab-of-beef-in-a-freezer feeling. No more thawing out my socks over a bare light bulb. No more kindling a fire with pages ripped from Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities."

This being New Jersey, of course, the weather will probably take a turn for the scorching sometime in the next few days. We'll go from freezing to broiling in no time at all. I guess the heat could have its advantages. For instance, I'll be able to cook cheese steak hot pockets without a microwave...
