So in case you've tried to call me recently, or have had an online conversation in which I seemed distracted or even rude, I've had one of those insanely stressful bits. But I think it's all over now. My apologies.
I got home to my dorm room on Sunday to find my room flooded. My carpet was soaked, as was everything sitting on it (including my accordion, whose strap is now covered in fuzzy mold spots). No, wait, this wasn't the beginning. The beginning was when I got home and discovered I had no keys. So the on-duty RA came and opened my room (which was locked for some reason) and I went in and saw the carpet.
Maintenance came and gave me a dehumidifier, but it didn't really do anything, plus the room smelled awful, plus they had to take apart my heater so my room was freezing. I slept in my roommate's room that night. The maintenance people said they'd bring a wet-vac the next day, but when I got home from class everything was still sopping, so I had to sleep on the couch. So I called this morning and had to move all of my crap out of my room, because then they came and got all the water up, and now it doesn't stink nearly as much, and my heater works. (Other crappiness involved me thinking I'd left my textbook on the plane, but I found it when I was moving stuff back in. Also, my keys were in Alaska, and my mom is sending them.) So, happy ending.
Also, I love my class.
MOVIES I PLAN TO WATCH SOON:

Do you play the accordion, or do you just have one so that people will ask you whether you play it or not, and you can just say, 'I don't, it's just an affectation.'
Either way, sorry about your room and I hope they won't bill you.
Also don't waste your time with the Adam West Batman unless you can watch it with a bunch of friends. It's soooo campy. But I guess that's the point.

Mostly it is an affectation, but I do know how to play it. Sort of. Not well. Mostly people say "Oh wow, you have an accordion? Play me something!" and then I say "Well, I can't actually remember any songs." But now I have an excuse. I will say "I can't, I have to replace the strap."
Those are all movies I've seen a million times and love to pieces, so I am well aware of the ridiculous campiness. But thank you for warning me. :)
Spice World = Two hours of girl power.
