CRIBS: Building A, 402

These past two weeks have been utterly insane. The following pictures represent what happens when an over-stressed student moves out of her room and into the library. I literally spent a total of about 12 hours in my room last week, including the time I spent asleep. With so little time, I was capable of making a whole lot of messes. I guess these cribs blogs are supposed to represent how clean we Hopkins-folk are. Well I am living proof that not all Hopkins students are type A. I consider myself less of a letter type, unless there was a 27th letter after z.
It doesn't even have a place for my computer...
As I mentioned in my video, I live in an un-forced triple, meaning I chose to live with 2 other people. I feel sorry for my roommates, since I am a complete slob, but I honestly do try to clean up a bit. My desk looks much better now than when I took those photos… I guess it’s a learning experience for them. I bring a bit of diversity into the room.
I am pretty excited to get out of Building A and move on up to Homewood next year. Not that I don’t like my dorm, because it is quite sufficient. Rather, Homewood has ovens. Yes, an oven!! The things that get to 500 degrees. Do you know what that is good for? Burning yourself. Maybe I can get a matching burn scar on my right hand to match my left… Aspirations at their finest. Seriously though, the mini-fridge, microwave combo is not very conducive to cooking. Our microwave doesn’t even have enough power to pop microwaveable popcorn, which is complete sacrilege considering that is my family’s invention. Now I am digressing…
Overall, as advice to future freshmen, if you are looking for more space, more quiet, and a bathroom you don’t need to share with tons of other people, Building A is probably a good choice for you. I am quite happy with my stay here, mostly because my roommates don’t annoy me. The annoying is my job. Also, my window has a view of the walkway by the rec center, which is ideal for people watching. I just stare and stare, and nobody ever looks back.
Also as a last side note to future freshmen, when you fill out the housing survey be sure to accurately estimate your bedtime. Your roommates will be very upset if you want to keep the light on until 3 am every night, and you will be exiled to either the hallway or library.
Lastly, the glow in the dark galaxy will be moving to the new quad in Homewood. Who can resist sleeping under the stars every night?
