Morning Misadventures

I have to admit that I live in a pretty nice dorm on campus. Its probably one of the best, it seems more like a hotel and less like a dorm. Although once you get into the rooms they are not as nice, being that they are incredibly small (thanks to my roommate though for being a good student and a scoring us the biggest room in the suite) . However, sometimes I think we have to pay for these luxuries. Examples:

• Yes, the cost of living in this dorm is substantially higher than other dorms on campus, but it is so worth it
• The first week of classes there was a problem with the fans in our suite and there was this annoying high pitched buzzing sound. We assumed the whole hall was this way until a hall meeting when we found out it was just out suite...
• Last week our bathroom drain had something happen to it and our whole shower room + half of the hallway flooded (my room included)
• Also last week, one of my suite mates put a piece of pizza into the microwave to reheat it and lo-and-behold, the microwave caught on fire! Smoke filled our suite and most of the floor (surprisingly the fire alarms did not go off...)
  
• And the other day a pipe burst in the basement setting off the fire alarms at 9 am (now usually I am up by then, but no it has to be when I think I am catching a cold and am sleeping in due to the fact that I feel like crap)
• Also, the washing machines suck.

So I think I can successfully say that my dorm is cursed, or maybe its just my suite... Either way, I still love living there. My suite mates are pretty awesome, except when they "bear bottom fart" on my pillows. But that's another story.

Other than that, not much has gone on. I recently spent three weeks trying to get HP to fix my computer, and just this Tuesday did I get it back. It took them about two weeks to ship the stupid box to us, and then once we got that it was just another two days for them to fix it and ship it back. My favorite part is that we had been calling HP to see the status of this magic box for about a week and so one day last week a lady calls me (while I'm in class of course) and leaves a message saying that she is doing everything she can to get the box sent and she is talking to people below her, and just reassured me that the box was going to get there. Then a few hours later I get a call from my dad saying they just got the box at my house and he was shipping it to HP that day... It was quite confusing and instilled a lot of confidence in HP and their upper management.

Well, that was about the extent of my excitement from the last few weeks. Almost flooding my building, and then almost burning it down, and getting my laptop back was about it. Oh yea, and I've been kinda emo, but no one ever wants to hear about that, right?
I thought so.
