I live in a hole...
I pay a grand a semester for a desk and a bed that my boyfriend's dad says wouldn't pass for an inmate. We have 5 dorms on this campus...and they've all been remodelled except for ours, and the first dorm that was remodelled is due for more before we get one room redone. Again, I live in a hole...please feel sorry for me. LOL

1. I was there in 1986.
I lived in a WWII-era dorm with communal bathrooms and showers. People using the bathroom portion had to shout "CRAPPER!" before flushing so that the shower-takers would not be subjected to a blast of cold water. Well, they didn't HAVE to, but it was generally done, unless someone who pissed you off was showering. :evilgrin:

We won't get into the full garbage can full of water dumped down the 1st floor hallway, leaving that oh-so sexy mildew smell.

Oh, and the administration turned on the heat by calendar date, not temperature. :eyes:

2. Oh, I'll do you one better...
When people flush, we get SCALDED. And the admin here turns on the heat because of the old women who get cold when it is 70 degrees. I have a year left after this one. And unfortunately, I have no place else to go.

4. Hobbits live in holes...
and they're the happiest beings in Middle Earth. Just look at Bilbo's house in the movie. You should feel lucky.;-)

5. Bilbo's house is a MANSION compared to this place.
I need to find a digital camera and show you all.

I used to lie awake at night dreaming of being able to live in a hole!
