So I'm up here at MSU now. It's almost complete shit, made better only by the fact that I downloaded a nice Styx album when I got here. The dorm rooms at Hull House are complete ass. And by complete ass I mean it in that New York city slum apartment sort of way. I probably won't sleep tonight for fear that I am either carried off by cochroaches, eaten by rats, or dropped through the floor due to water damage.
The people up here are also scary. Everyone says "Hey man, college is completely different from high school!" but from what I've seen so far it's the same exact people with the same exact attitudes. There is even the asshole that plays accoustic guitar and sings and lucky for me he is right across the hall. I am kind of wishing now that I had eaten the barrel of a gun instead of coming... but then I think of Lorelei.
Fortunately for me, Jacob (the roommate) isn't here yet. Why the hell I decided college was the way to go I'll never know. I'm sure there will be a fight over who gets the dresser, but since MSU was kind enough to put a divide in the top drawer, we can both have easy access to our undies. I was going to take pictures, but my mom had to make it home in time to watch TV or something so I drew this sweet picture instead.
Obviously some of the things aren't drawn to scale, or rather none of the things are drawn to scale. The picture does server to show how cramped it is in here though. If I had any strenght left in me after carrying all my shit up three flights of stairs (there is no elevator in Hull), then I might have moved some of the furniture around. However, a chair and a bottle of coke were the only things on my mind when I finished that off.
The other shitty thing about already being up here is that nothing is open. I wanted a post office box, but the post office is closed. It's a fucking Saturday, but the post office is closed. Then I wanted my 1300 dollars back, but the financial aid office is closed. I guess I'll just go to Wendy's then right? Nope. The union is also closed. So for the next week or so until they decide to open shit up, I have to drive my beast of a truck off campus to some shitty restaurant like McDonald's so I can have a Big 'n Tasty that is neither big nor tasty.
Well fuck me I almost forgot one of the most important things. And this is important so I will give it its own line:
There are only two electrical outlets in the whole room! So make sure to bring shittons of extension cords.
