Day From Hell

Not sure where to start with this one because so much has happened in the last twenty four hours.  Last night, we went to Rituals, the coffee shop and it was amazing.  Great food.  My orientation group was there and we all just watched our favorite YouTube videos and laughed the whole time.  It was great.  Then I got home and my roommate was washing towels and taking a shower.  I opened my door and was standing in half an inch of water.  Everything had flooded.  So we spent most of the night, until about 1am using towels to soak up the water.  The worst part was ringing out the towels and trying to keep the stray cat out of the house while we were going in and out.  Eventually, we went to bed and woke up early this morning for the plumber.  We were both exhausted.  The plumber managed to flood the apartment three more times and after 3 1/2 hours, told us that the drain was in the wall instead of outside and there was nothing he could do about it.  So the landlord stopped by and now we're waiting for a guy named Carl to come so he can try and fix it all.  The showers are fixed but we don't have a washing machine.  Oh well.  The internet guy came today so we finally have internet inside the apartment.  As I was taking the trash out, I ran into this little guy.
Aren't you glad I showed you that?  We're all going to the grocery store to buy machetes so we can kill these little buggers.  They're poisonous... and aggressive.  Oh the joys.  Tomorrow, we have our second day, which is supposed to be our fourth day, of orientation.  Hurricane Fiona hit today, which consisted of a 2 1/2 minute drizzle.  Everything was cancelled just for that.  I have to wake up at about 6:15am tomorrow and we're supposed to be going all day.  Here's the view from campus.  Love.
