When I was in high school the furnace was too much

The whole thing was just terrible.

Back when I was in high school, they ran the furnace way too much for some reason. It’s funny, but that is the main thing that I remember about high school. I just remember being too hot all the time during the fall and the winter. We did not even live in a climate that was really even all that cold. The weird thing was that the minute that the temperature outside started cooling down and getting into the 60s or so, the maintenance people at the school building would start turning the heat on. I was just a teenager at that point, but I fully understood the fact that body heat would cause the temperature in the building to rise. Not only that, but as the sun came out and heated up the building during the day, the temperature throughout the whole building would rise. By lunchtime, every classroom was sweltering and we were all hot and sweaty. when you put a bunch of hot and sweaty teenagers in a classroom together after lunch, of course everyone is going to want to fall asleep and take a nap.not only that, but I couldn’t even wear any of my cute winter clothes because I was always so sweaty after lunch. The whole thing was just terrible. I feel like they could have avoided it if they had just kept the furnace turned off. Most of the time I tried to sit by a window so I could crack it and get a little bit of a breeze from outside. It always felt really silly because I would have the window open while the furnace was running right next to me.
