The high so far has been above 40 degrees...so wonderful...but so terrible. This sudden change in temperature has done wonders for my immune system. I caught a cold immediately after one night of little sleep.
Now I've spent the last three nights seeing the clock at least every hour. No Fun.
Sleep is already hard to come by in a dorm room, i don't need help by getting all stuffed up.
People stay up till the wee hours of the morning, just doing homework. I can't imagine.
Lara (my roomie) and I stuff a towel under the door to muffle some sound, and to block the persistent light coming in from the hallway. But then you have to deal with paper thin walls. I lay in bed at night and can hear every word of the conversations going on next door. And personally, I just don't care about how many girls your loud drunk friend danced with at roscoes that night. honestly.
And as greatful as I am to be so close to the bathroom on our floor, it echoes. People getting ready for bed, or getting ready in the morning, should keep conversation to a minimum. It is so so very loud.
Speaking of the morning hours. let me just say : i hate alarm clocks. I realize they are a neccesity in waking up (including myself). But I wish I didn't wake up to the girls' next door, and my roomie's, almost every morning. Ridiculous.
I suppose I should leave off on a positive note though. When I want to hang out with someone, all I have to do is shuffle over in my stocking feet (no car, and no coat required), and knock on their door. And THAT makes dorm life the most wonderful thing. ever.

oh I know how horrible paper thin walls and being close to the echoing bathroom can be...
ReplyDeletewhen I lived at CCU, I would practically have to yell at my end of the hallway to the OTHER end of the hallway, to get any sleep when someone is talking in the hallway...
