I live in Cabaniss, a freshmen dorm on the MCV of VCU. It was not on my list of choices when I payed my housing deposit back in May, but since I signed up so late, I was put in this dorm because all of the other dorms were filled. My assignment was two weeks late, so I was just excited to have finally gotten my housing assignment.
This dorm is actually okay in my opinion. It's quiet (on some days; the other days are a different story). The big problem is that this dorm has communial bathrooms. I do not like this at all. Now at first, I thought that this would not be that bad, but after a few days, I understood what the complaints were about.
The bathrooms are disgusting! Hair in the showers, sinks are dirty. I can just imagine the bacteria in the showers and toilet stalls. Eww. As you can probably already tell, I am a germophobe, so I take extra caution whenever I enter that horrid bathroom: I always take a bag with me to put my clothes in whenever I go to take a shower or get changed (I actually stole this idea from my roommate) instead of putting it on the seat in the shower stall and I wear my shower shoes while in the shower. I even have went so far as to look up extra precautions so I can be even more prepared.
Enough about the bathroom. Let's talk about the noise (remember I said the other days were a different story). Well, last night, I was doing a little reading for my Mass Comm class, which was due today. In just five minutes, the 7th floor of Cabaniss (the floor I stay on) went from being semi-quiet to loud! People were talking really loudly, cussing, yelling, it was ridiculous! I wanted to do this:
But, of course, I didn't. I just waited for them to call down. You would think I would be used to it with aunt having six kids and all of them yelling and screaming through the house whenever I visited (which I did every week). At least there I could get them to quiet down, but here? No. Not my job or place.
This is only the 2nd or 3rd week. I don't even want to know what will happen in the upcoming months.
