I think my least favourite part of everybody else having time to hang out and have fun while I am at the library working, is the part where I come back from the library at 1:30am and the common room is a total mess and I am clearly the only one to clean it up.
Seriously, everyone I know is camping tonight, and I am the only one present on this floor of the dorm tonight. Only I can clean! I turned them down for camping, but I wasn’t even invited to/ informed of whatever gathering caused the mysterious stains on the table, which I just spent half an hour cleaning up. The baffling-containers-of-water full of wilted plants to which I am allergic were a nice touch, too. For each one, I had to make a trip to the bathroom to dump out the water and a trip to the trash room! And of course I now have a tub of assorted college student-y belongings sitting in my room, to be redistributed to their owners later. I guess I didn’t have to wash the dishes. I could have just put them in the tub dirty. But then they might have gotten everything else dirty, and you know, clearly these belongings are very important to their owners.
And they wondered why I was excited about not living with them any more next year. It is because of this! Tonight was going to be the first night that antics in the common room didn’t keep me from sleeping, since nobody would be there to make noise— but all they did was get creative about it! They can keep me awake even from miles away! I’d be impressed if I wasn’t so pissed about that half hour of sleep that I kind of needed!
I guess I shouldn’t exacerbate it by wasting even more of my time on it, even in so stress-relieve-y a venue as tumblr, so I’ll leave it there. But really, folks… for cereal?!
