Alright…so I’m moved in. It’s very strange to live like this I must say. It’s like a cross between a hotel and an apartment, with a twist of a public building. Going back to my list:
-The bathroom will suck in some capacity
It kind of does suck. First of all, the door no longer seems to fit the frame well, so you have to push with all your might to close it, and then pull with all your might to open it, causing a loud noise as a result. Secondly, there is nowhere to put anything! I probably sound like a girl or something, but would it kill them to have a cover to the toilet or some counter-top space near the sink? Where do I put any of my clothes or whatever when I’m taking a shower? Thirdly, the sink itself is terrible. There is no water pressure to speak of. If you were to cup your hands together and turn up the hot and cold full blast, it would take you like 30 seconds to actually fill that up. That’s how bad it is. The sink is also teeny-tiny, so I couldn’t wash or fill up my water pitcher. Luckily, I discovered a Sink Room on my floor which is big, has counter-top space, and has amazing water pressure. Sadly, it still doesn’t address problem number four, which is the fact that there is no soap or towels for washing hands. Every single time I want to just wash my hands, I need to bring my shower caddy with my towel and body wash just to get my hands clean and dry. However, I spy a sign that says there can be one soap and one towel in the bathroom, so I might just buy some hand soap at Target tonight and leave it in the bathroom. Hopefully nobody steals it or the cleaners throw it away.
-The distance from Middlebrook Hall to everywhere else will be a big pain in the ass
Maybe it’s just because I haven’t been feeling too well, but it IS a long trek. I can really feel each step that it takes for me to reach the East Bank. At least the campus is good-looking, or this would be a major pain.
-I will go crazy from not having enough alone time
If this first approx. 19 hours is any indication, my roommate won’t be in the room too often, or even a nuisance when he is. This may not be a problem.
-I will become a social hermit due to wanting some decent alone time
I’m going to blame it on the sickness I may or may not have, but I have been staying in the room a bit too much. It’s hard to walk around and have fun when your stomach is ready to hop out of your mouth.
-I will become a social nut and only be with friends when I should be doing homework
Eh…probably not at this point.
-I will be unable to balance my family, old friends, and new friends along with everything else
Don’t really know for sure at this point.
-I will have brought too much stuff
I did bring a lot, but I don’t think I really regret bringing anything.
-I will have not brought enough stuff
I did forget some things. I left my sunglasses in the car it seems. I didn’t bring extension cords. A few other things like hand soap too.
-I will have all my valuables (TV, game systems, laptop) stolen
So far, so good.
-The professors will all be terrible in some capacity
Dunno yet.
-The food will all be terrible in some capacity
Will have Middlebrook’s food tonight, so I’ll see.
Anyway, I’m going to put updates here and on Facebook so…yeah.
