I was going to tell you about my bathroom drama! hah. I’m sure you need to know…
so, last Tuesday was the fateful day I actually failed a test. I told you about it the other day—it was the one-question oral exam that i didn’t know the answer to. So, as you can imagine, I was pretty upset after that…….well, actually I think upset is an understatement. I’d been up all night studying and trying to prepare for the exam (and finish up the paper I needed to write), and I was tired, and all I wanted was to come home and take a shower and collapse in my bed. However, God apparently decided that was not to be.
I walk down the hall and I immediately sensed something funny going on. Why is there a pile of wood outside my door? anyway, i get to my suite, unlock the door, walk in, switch on the light and—–
to my horror, I find this:
Building maintenence apparently decided that this would be a good week to remodel our bathroom—-without telling us
I might have cried. too much for one day.
so, now we have no shower, no toilet, no running water…plus the maintenence guys like to do all their hammering in there bright and early at 6am. they actually knocked a hole all the way through the floor, for a day or two we could look down into the room under us. They also like to tell really crude jokes (according to my roommate, I dunno I can’t understand them but I take her word for it) and then they all laugh like hyenas, as loud as they possibly can. it’s been kind of miserable, actually. I think seeing that little fiasco was the first time I really felt like “ man, I wish I could go back to north carolina…this kind of thing doesn’t happen at home.” And it made me even more glad to be going to Sweden. If I had to stay in Krakow this weekend I wouldn’t have made it, i would have had to check into a hotel for the last few days.
Well, whatever. 2 more days, grin and bear it…makes for an interesting memory, yeah?
I think there was another story I was going to tack on to this one, but I don’t really remember now…so I’ll leave you with that.
XOXOXO
