brokenrecordlksdjflkj I am in SUCH a bad mood.
So, you know last week how I was excited how I got a good draw number and it meant that I wouldn't have to be in Dupre, which have the worst singles and are smaller than prison cells and the school actually pays a fine each year because they're so small but it's cheaper to pay the fine than renovate the building? GUESS WHERE MY ROOM NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE?
UGH. I got the FIRST single in Dupre. The girl in front of me got Bigelow, another sophomore dorm. The thing is, I was right that my room number was good, and normally I should've been able to get into the dorm I wanted. But they let juniors and seniors take singles in the dorms that are SUPPOSED to be all sophomore, and have always been all sophomore. It's not like they normally give singles to the seniors and juniors at the end of the line. But they chose to this year for absolutely no reason other than to screw me over, apparently. So instead of there being 10 singles in Wallace, the best sophomore dorm, and the one I wanted to be in SO BADLY, there was 1. And there was 1 in 30 Mac, 4 in the males-only floor in Bigelow, and 2 normal ones in Bigelow. There were 6 people in front of me (2 males), and so when I got there, all that were left were 2 singles on the males-only floor and Dupre.
The only thing that's making me feel SLIGHTLY better is that if I had an even worse draw number, they would have run out of Dupre singles, and I would be forced into a double with someone I don't know. Which I guess is what happened this year, living with a stranger for the first time, but at least there it was a NICE dorm. God Dupre sucks so much. I am so upset about this, seriously. The dorms are SO small. There are no sinks! I am so upset about that! You wouldn't think it would make a big difference, but I don't want to have to go to the bathroom every time I want to brush my teeth or get a cup of water! The only good thing is that I got a room directly across from the bathroom, so at least I don't have to walk all the way to the other end of the hall (like I did this year. My room is the furthest you can possibly be on this floor from the women's restroom). Also, I'm on the second floor instead of the fourth, like this year, which is good for when the elevator breaks and you're coming back from break with two suitcases (which has happened to me and is so not fun). And there is a computer lab on the floor I'm living on so I don't have to go to the library to print stuff out. Except I was kind of planning to bring my printer to school with me next year anyways, so I don't know that that really matters.
The other only good things are that it's a single, since I really miss having my own room. I can decorate it however I want, which I've had the urge to do for awhile now. There isn't really much room for decoration on the walls of my room because our beds are lofted and block most of the walls, but there is this one totally blank wall that I feel like putting posters and such on, but I don't want to have to figure out with my roommate what things we both like to put up posters, you know? I want to be able to decorate it however I want. And I can do that in a single. However, Dupre singles are SO tiny (seriously, they're just unbelievably tiny. I don't know how you breathe in those rooms) that I'll probably have to keep my bed lofted which I'm really upset about too, because I was really looking forward to being able to have a delofted bed. I miss having a normal bed and being able to just jump in and sprawl on it and not bump my head on the ceiling every other night. I could actually do work on a delofted bed! Lay down and watch a movie! Can't do that with a lofted bed.
I just... everything just sucks. I hate the next few weeks of school so much. I have so much crap to do. I still have 4 papers to write (a total of 22-24 pages), 4 tests, one in-class essay, one presentation, and one abstract film. I'm only truly enjoying one of my classes. Next week is the last week of my abnormal psych discussion group, and even though that'll give me more time to do work during the week, as I've mentioned numerous times, that's my absolute favorite academic-related activity of the week and I enjoy it so much. I was trying to look forward to next semester; I'm excited about three of the classes I really want to take (still have no idea about the fourth, though, which is causing me stress). And I was looking forward to having a single, hopefully in Wallace, but I would've accepted Bigelow or 30 Mac. Those would be fine. Right now I just need a week where I can relax and not worry about anything and just be happy. I need a second spring break, next week, where I can catch up on work and go home and see my family and birds and be in reasonable weather (WHICH IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT RANT, OK, WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE WEATHER TODAY? UGH THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE WORST WEATHER I'VE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE, I'D SAY). I really need to just not be here.
Also, ok, WHAT THE HELL, WEATHER? It started raining, which was fine (kind of nice, actually), but then it started snowing, and then raining, and it's been like... sleeting? Is I guess what they call it? since like 5:30. It is awful. The wind is ridiculous and my umbrella kept flipping inside out wherever I'd go, and the wind kept changing direction, so I'd have to change my umbrella to be against the wind so it wouldn't do that. And tonight we're supposed to get 6 inches of snow. WHAT THE HELL. IT'S SPRING. IT'S APRIL.
I was going to get work done tonight and not watch The Office or 30 Rock, but I just... cannot get anything done in this frame of mind tonight. So I'm going to shower and then watch 30 Rock and The Office and then go to sleep. I am going to regret this tomorrow and this weekend when I have more work to get done, but whatever. There's no way I'm getting anything done now.
Today has been made of EPIC FAIL.

Date: 2008-04-11 05:25 pm (UTC)I don't think it's possible to switch. There just aren't any singles available in the other dorms. Actually, I'm pretty sure there aren't even any singles available left in Dupre, because people who had really bad draw numbers who wanted singles were forced into doubles in Dupre because they ran out of singles. I can put myself on a waitlist, but the only way I would get in one of the rooms would be if someone dropped out over the summer or... died, I guess. And I doubt that's going to happen to many people, and there are already a load of people on the waitlist so... it does not look at all likely that I could switch.
