No Heat, Bats, and Mold

I have had it with this damn school. I love the theatre department and I'm glad I'm here, but I hate administration.

They planned their budget wrong, so they froze all accounts. Luckily, we found a loophole so the show is still a go. :) Everyone knows you plan your budget based on your previous year's earnings, not on what you expect to make during the current year. That is what we call counting your hens before they hatch. (They had to freeze the theatre funds and others, yet they can build a new rec center. Go figure.)

Anyway, this week has been freaking cold. I have heard that Arkansas weather is nuts, but I didn't believe it until I moved her. Seriously, it was in the seventies for two days and then dropped to the thirties for the majority of the week, now it's in the sixties again (and dropping)! Not the point of my story though. Because we had those freak warm days, the school turned off the heat in our dorm building. It was THIRTY degrees most of the week. Their excuse? It's supposed to be warm. The real reason is that their about a million dollars in debt and looking to cut corners. Anything they can get away with cutting is going bye-bye.

Also, the bathrooms have mold in them. ALL of the bathrooms have mold in them. Above the showers. Residence life claims it's dead, it's not growing anymore. It is! Instead of it just being one panel, like it was at the beginning of the year, it is creeping on the surrounding ceilings. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Seriously, though, it's really, really bad for my asthma.

Also, I got stuck in the elevator the other day. GAH! It happened to other girls too. It was only on the eighth floor, we couldn't get it to go down, so we picked up the phone to get help. THEY PUT US ON HOLD! WE WERE STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR!!! (With increasing pressure on our bladders) Luckily, it finally went to a lower floor.

Oh! And my best friend has bats in her room! BATS!!! We can hear them, but because we can't prove that they are there, they won't do anything. They have seen them in the RA's room. They haven't called animal control, because they are endangered. They could have rabies for crying out loud!!!
