My God. I have so much free time. I'm out of school, and I'm going to start a job. Eventually. I have nothing to do except sit around and do nothing. Luckily, I have a butt ton of video games to keep my occupied, but I just have absolutely nothing to do. Jesus. I can actually do stuff...
The Chinese government has been cancelling and/or cutting short some holidays in recent years. I'm down to 10 holidays for 2009, from 13 or 14 last year. Some holidays are misleading; even though I may get a Thursday and Friday off, the government will require everyone to come back in on Sunday, making it a 3 day weekend that just started a day early.
harghgarble! Finals. I've got one at 9:00 today and then an essay due tonight. Fairly mild workload but with the given stress I've added on lately, I'm not very prepared.
Stupid college. It's such a love hate relationship.
My little sister came to visit me a few days ago! It was very exciting for me because she's the first member of my family to come see me in Florida since I've been here for the past three years.
She took my bed and I took the couch. I was woken up in the morning to the sound of falling water. I got up and went into the bathroom only to see a torrent of water falling from the AC/heat vent and the exhaust vent.
The hell?
I ran to my room and checked on my own private bathroom to see the same thing. Then back out in the living room I look at the vent and see the beginnings of a waterful drip-drip-dripping its way into my apartment.
I have two apartments above me. The one on the third floor busted a water pipe in the wall because of the warm-cold-warm-cold weather we've been having. The apartment above me is unoccupied, and the one where the pipe busted the people were out of town.
When my knocks on the door yielded no response, the police and fire department were called for fear that somebody was dead in a bathtub. Then, after half an hour of my room mate, myself, and my sister cycling pots and buckets under our vents and the vents of the apartment above us, the maintenance crew finally shows up. They cut through the wall in the third floor apartment and turn off the water.
Despite all of this, we didn't get much damage to our property. The apartment's walls and ceiling are definitely water-damaged, but our furniture, clothes, books, etc. are all fantastic. The maintenance guys had a diesel-powered water vac they used to suck up most of the water, and they let us borrow a big carpet fan made specially for drying up water-damaged rugs. There's a slight musty smell, but I think it'll be mostly gone in a few days. Tomorrow should be warm enough to open up all the doors and windows.
Nobody was hurt, and thank God. I don't know what I would have done if the first night my sister was staying here the roof collapsed on her. :[ The worst thing - aside from the mildewy smell - was only that we were all awake from 2:30 to 5:30 fighting confusion and moisture.
