Work Day

I can now count down using my fingers until the day I come home. HOORAY! As exciting that is, there is also another side of this coming home thing that isn’t so much fun – cleaning. We have to clean everything. I am not joking here when I say everything, there are lists everywhere and we have to go around finding our names to find out which things we have to do. Here is some of what we have to do:

In our rooms – the walls, the tall closets, the ceiling, the windows, the desks, the cupboards, the carpet, the beds, the mattress, the garbage bins, the walls, the fan, the door and the drawers. There can be no trace of sticky tack being on the walls, none of our stuff can be left in the room and the beds have to be put back the way we found them.

In the dorm – each tile on the floor, the glass sliding doors, all the windows, the walls, the staircases, the sofas/chairs, the tables, the lamps, the doors and the curtains.

In the bathroom – the drawers, the shower curtains, the walls above the showers, the toilets, the door, the tiled flooring, the light bulbs, the ceiling, the cupboards and the towel racks.

If it is not done and looking the way the staff want it they will take away our down payment or something like that. So we are all freaking out since that is a heck of a lot of work to do while we are still living here, going to classes and then they, as in the staff, have some end of the term ‘fun stuff’ planned for us. So when are we meant to clean? Yeah that is a question nobody has a really great answer too. It will probably end up being done Wednesday night since dorm check is Thursday at 1:30 but we are out until 1pm that day. Anyways, that’s what is going on at the Hill these days.

8 days and counting,
