Great Strides Toward Reducing EF

So I haven't blogged in a while but this past week I have slipped up on a few things. I was in a rush for school one morning and instead of unplugging my charger I just unplugged the phone. I of course realized this when I was dashing to the bus and didn't turn around to go back. The other thing was that last Thursday I was on campus all day and was going to the volleyball game that night. Since I had been on campus I didn't have my car but after 7pm the bus I need only comes once an hour. I missed it by 5 minutes and so I asked a friend for a ride home. My task of not getting rides and always taking the bus is difficult in these kinds of situations but I'm still working on it.

One thing I continue to do well is conserving power use of my laptop. I only had to fully charge it twice this week. It really depends how much I am on it for school or if I stay on campus to get my stuff done.

Something else that was brought up in my apartment with my roommates is when we are going to turn on the heat. My room is downstairs and it is already very cold. I just put flannel sheets on my bed and sleep in a sweatshirt and sweats with socks every night. I still have more blankets to put on my bed as the months get colder so I don't have to turn on the heat. We will save money and energy that way. We came to an agreement that we will not turn on the heat until December 1st. Up until that time we will grab an extra blanket, sweatshirt, something else to keep us warm instead of reaching for the thermostat.
