I was told to be honest

I am tired of taking cold showers. I had a really long day, and it ended, yet AGAIN, with a cold shower. We have had issues with our shower for a long time now (since last semester). It used to happen a lot more frequently, but now happens roughly once a week to me. We have cold shower water sometimes. If I'm "lucky," if you can call it that, it is cold from the start and I can go to another shower. If I'm unlucky, the water gets cool/cold mid-shower, with shampoo all through my hair. Imagine washing that out! Tonight, the shower never got warm, so I never got in. After waking up at 6:30 to do a little extra studying for a 8 am chemistry test, I was really looking forward to ending my day with a warm shower and my favorite body lotion. I went to another bathroom, where I ran into a girl who told me that she just finished a cold shower. I trekked down to a third bathroom where I finally found a warm shower. I have been told that the problem is in the reproducibility of the problem when the maintenance men come to fix it. I, on the other hand, seem to have no problem in the reproducibility department!! Just last week, on my only day without 8 am class, I also had a cold shower. I woke up, made coffee, did a yoga DVD, and then headed for the shower. The shower was cool and I was not happy. I was back in the bathroom a little later and heard someone turn the shower on and off, on and off. At first, I wondered if she was the princess of "going green", and turned the water off when she didn't need it (like while shaving or shampooing). Then she turned it on and off a few too many times. I asked her if it was cold and she said yes. Imagine being stuck in a cold shower. I don't take cold showers at home, and I don't understand why I am taking so many cold showers here!
