Entropic Decay

Oh hi. Winter is here! I mean, Winter is here :(
I normally like winter, but those instances usually come equipped with heat. Apparently we forgot to get our gas utility set up, so our apartment is running at a toasty 59F. Biking across campus to get to my morning (11:30) classes has never been less motivating. Getting up in the morning is the world's greatest injustice.

I'm improvising survival skills, so being a CSE major, I capitalized on the only plentiful source of heat: computers. I just got a new computer a month ago so my old one just sits in my room. I opened up the case and turned it on. I turned on Prime95, a stress tester pushes my computer to the limit, calculating big prime numbers. This equates to a hot computer, which is my primary heat source now. It's not doing so bad: by keeping my door closed, my room is a good deal warmer than the hallway. Between that, my new computer (which, unfortunately, runs pretty cool), and my laptop, I might be able to survive the winter.
