THERE ARE UPS AND DOWNS to dorm life. I may know this intellectually,
but at this moment in time, I’m having trouble seeing the ups. The reason for
this is, that at this moment there is an alarm clock in the room next to me
that will not stop blaring. It’s not just an ordinary one, no; it’s one for ΓΌber-heavy
sleepers. Our walls appear to be cinderblocks and it is loud enough to wake me
up, I imagine, with the door open. The second reason is that when the room to
the building sets off an additional alarm when open for an extended period of
time. I sincerely hope and pray that this will stop. Or at least become background
noise.
