Rachel's grand adventures 9/15/2019

First and foremost I must tell you all not to complain about anything ever. Why, you ask? Well if you do whatever you have been complaining about will likely get worse. As the example for this week of this most vital lesson, my plumbing. In the first email, I complained about how horrible my plumbing is. Now, these last two weeks we have had the coldest showers of my life. Honestly, these showers feel like you are being body-slammed by the abominable snowman into an icy lake while Jack frost has a laughing fit. For about two weeks me and my roommates endured this nightmare, assuming that perhaps we were showering at the wrong time. Finally, one brave hero named Anna called the maintenance guy and now our water is hot again. I have almost given myself third-degree burns in celebration. Classes are still going well. I have now taken 2 tests which was not that bad and I got above a 90 on both. Yay? My classes are not super interesting this year but thus far not super hard.  I also went to

This week was pretty great. I still feel pretty good about all my classes. I have been doing all my homework I was supposed to do; don't tell all my brothers as they might die from the shock.

We also got a brand new roommate this week which was great but also shocked all three of us. I was going on one of my dail

This has been a very long very weird week. First off I was placed in my brand new home away from home known as university housing. Even though the building seems to have had a two-year-old scribble as a blueprint and the plumbing is sub-par, to say the least, it still is a quaint little place. I really am loving having my own room to have a few mental breakdowns a week and nurse my broken fibula. It's also very nice that the walls are paper thin so any said mental breakdowns can be heard by the whole building, sorry to my fellow alumni but I'm sure your time is coming. I am really liking my roommates. Both are introverted, which is ideal for me as we can all spend an entire day having quality time in our own rooms. Even though we are often hiding in our rooms we do occasionally meander out and meet together in the living room. When we do meet outside the sanctity of our rooms we have good conversation and spend time playing charades or introducing me to K-pop. They are both ver
