"I was freezing. The draft in the room was ridiculous. Its because the windows are rotten and there were gaps so the cold air got in and made the whole room so cold. Also no one tells you to get your car park ticket before you park. So now Im worried that I will get a fine as I went into the car park then walked over to register my car."
