Our room has two bathrooms. One of them has a puddle in it. There is no dripping from the ceiling, no leaking from the toilet, no apparent path from the shower, and no obvious uneven ground. The residents of this room from last year say that the mutant puddle has been there since January. They are also convinced that the water contains various diseases (this claim is very ridiculous). To actually get to the toilet, you have to jump over the puddle and use the door frame as a support for your jump. In addition, One of the bathroom lights are out (same bathroom). This, however, is not my bathroom and does not affect me. All the guys really have to do is fill out a work order form, but that has yet to happen.
My roommate and I never close the blinds to our dorm. Our room has a wonderful view of tower C and the Lobby, and that's about it. We figured there was no point closing the blinds since we are hardly there anyway, and neither of us figured that any crazy stalker would watch us in our sleep. Besides, we want to try to be friendly to the other residents. One time, however, a guy in our cluster started waving at a girl across the abyss (it's not an abyss in the slightest, but I think it's a cool word) while she was unpacking or something. That room has yet to open their blinds. That was a failed attempt but oh well.
The musical palm tree in our common area was almost thrown against the wall because of it's constant playing. Needless to say, the motion sensor was deactivated. It was also in the commons area that I had the idea to run for programming chair of JST. The position entails coming up with events to get people involved on campus and socialize with others in the building. One idea in particular is Monthly Fried Twinkie Night. This event will occur because of the great people in my cluster despite my election to this position or not. If I am elected, however, JST will pay for the event (twinkies) and not our cluster; not to mention how many more people will be able to participate in the event. Only the future will show how JST will change, but it will hopefully involve free food for us.
Jeff, I love reading your blog. It's so funny, and I love your view of the things that occur. If I could, I would definitely vote for you and your idea for fried twinkie night just because it sounds awesome. :)
