Ok so heres the deal...
In case you haven't been reading Amandas journal Ill get you up to date. The dorms suck. our room is incredibly cold. amanda and I have been sick on and off since we moved in. A few days ago Amanda went to look at the vent and realized it was also covered in mold (mold which they TOLD us was all cleaned out over the summer, way to go murray state) so now we are living in a small space with constant cold mold-spore filled air being pumped through it. ok great.... so we check and it turns out a few other girls on the floor also have mold and have been getting sick also. ok well naturally the first thing we do is clean up the mold we can get to. makes sense right? well apparently not. we were told to take pictures of the mold for proof.
....
yeah..
so finally we get housing to come actually check for the mold. so some idiot with a flashlight checks all the rooms. I still havent heard if he "found" any or not but whatever. good chances are they will refuse to clean the mold out until someones parents call and raise hell.
now heres the icing on the cake...
many people in the dorm cover their vents with cardboard so they dont burn/freeze to death. id never heard of it beign a problem before. even the RAs did it. the day we found the mold we covered the vent because well basically we were sick and didnt want to die. and id like to mention that we removed the cardboard before anyone came to check for mold and we havent put it back since (its fucking cold in here).
I just got a message from troy that we cannot cover the vents anymore because it will help the mold fester.
.....
ok so I have to die from wakign up in an icebox every mornign because if i cover the vent the mold that, according to housing doesnt even exhist, will fester? thats fuckign great...
i know im prob just bitter because i had a fucking horrible night and i havent eaten anythign in forever but fuck. this is just dumb! I dont mind living in a shitty ass dorm room but if you are gonna force me to have the air on full blast all the time then theres a fucking problem. im suprised they havent gotten their fucking asses sued, especially considerign the asbestos in the ceiling that we have all been warned about...
