Roommates - Air

There are sometimes when having roommates is a blast and oh so fun. But then there are other times when you don't agree on things, for instance it's summer, it's getting warmer outside and to save energy Katy (one of my roommates) and I open the windows at night and put in fans to bring in cool air.  We proceed by getting up early to close the windows so to keep the cool air from the night and not get the warm air of the day.  This system helps to keep the apartment cool during the day without having to use the air-conditioner, thus saving us money. As much as we try to explain this system to our roommates they continually close the windows because they're 'cold', they could go put some more clothing on.  Katy and I can only strip so much. It has become a battle of the most stubborn and let me tell you I'm stubborn when it comes to having my cool air.  If it is too warm my hands and feet will swell to the point of no use and I become unable to sleep because it is too warm.  (I should never live in a warm climate) I will be so glad to move back home to Washington where my family has a system and they all stick to it.
  I can't believe how some families raise their children to waste energy and not take advantage of the natural things around them.  My children will be raised to utilize nature, conserve energy, and to make things better than they found them.  Living with people that never clean up after themselves has been driving me nuts and I just can't wait to have a place of my own, literally, MY OWN where I don't have to clean up someone else's mess before I can work in the kitchen or just have a clean home.  I know that I'll be cleaning up after my own children and such in the future but I'll be able to train them to clean up after themselves and clean as they go.  Oh how this would make my life so much easier. 
Sometimes I feel like my roommates just don't understand how severe an effect Gluten can have on someone with Celiac Disease.  If even the slightest bit, even just a crumb, gets into the food I'm preparing it can make me sick.  By cleaning up after themselves and such it would greatly decrease not only my frustrations with them but also help me be healthier.
That's enough of my ranting tonight~
