--Wednesday, December 7th, 4:57 am. I had just finished my
english 200 paper, which was due at 10 am that day, and was getting into bed, pulling up the covers saying to my roommate (who was up playing World of Warcraft of course), "This is going to be the best 4 hours of sleep ever." My head hits the pillow and under a second later, the fire alarm goes off...I was pissed, laughing about it, but really pissed.

So one of my roommates comes home
last night fairly drunk as usual. He had apparently hit his head on the
stairs on the way up to the third floor we live on. He had a small cut
on his forehead that was bleeding down his face. So one of my other
roommates and I jumped up to help. We were sitting around playing video
games and had not noticed the blood. That is, until it was specifically
mentioned. We then jumped up, after making sure our games were saved.
Thusly helped him take care of his cut. Therefore, I make the
suggestion that he should take a shower. This was because he had gotten
some blood in his hair. He was also pretty dirty in general. It looked
like he fell down. Most likely, between here and where he was drinking.
I was not surprised. At around 3 am I go to use the bathroom. The door
is locked and there is snoring coming from inside. I bang on it and the
snoring stops. I tell the door "don't fall asleep in the bath, get out
and go to bed". The door responds with grunted agreement. I think
nothing more of it and use an alternative bathroom. I then go to sleep
figuring everything is ok. Boy was I wrong. I wake up and start walking
out of my room. At this point, I first realize something. That
everything is not how it should be. "My feet are wet", I remember
thinking. "So is an awful lot of the carpet in my room. This should not
be," my train of thought continues. I open my door and turn the corner.
My eyes take in the bathroom floor covered. Covered with two layers of
my roommate's dirty clothes, formerly on his floor. This strikes me as
odd. As I walk into the bathroom, my feet remain wet. Again, quite odd.
I travel to my roommate’s room. I, having followed a trail of wet
dirty clothes there. He is passed out half off his bed. I decide not to
wake him. I merely add my towels to the immensity of wet carpet in my
room. Then dry my feet off and go back to bed. Upon recently waking up,
I discover the truth. The ill-fated roommate fell asleep in the bath.
As much, I knew already. However, the bath got cold eventually. He then
turned on the water to warm it up. He did not drain any water. Sleep
befell him again. The knocking on our door awoke him next. Our RA was
curious, it seemed. Curious in regard to the unsightly water leaking
into the apartment downstairs. I feel confident Oliver was very
apologetic. Also, that he attempted to remedy the situation. At least
as well as he could in his state at that point. At which point, my
morning began.
