This has to be illegal somehow.

Last Thursday, I moved into summer housing. It's a free apartment for three months- pretty great, right? No. It's friggin terrible. Here is a list of all the things wrong with G 202, or its more apt nickname, Kabul. Would have gone with Abbottabad, but that would have been too generous.

1. RATS. So we got some rat poison. So now we have no more rats. Now, we have rat carcasses. Upgrade?

2. Shower barnacles.

3. The pile of mold in the shower corner. This one deserves special mention because it has made all of us sick. One housemate has a runny nose, another housemate has a sore throat, and one side of my neck is swollen so badly I can feel it in my ear.

4. A frayed electrical wire behind my bed.

5. Ghosts. Somebody is in there turning on appliances and moving furniture without our knowledge or consent. And yes, we keep the door locked and bolted.

6. Our toilet won't stop running, and it makes this loud, constant noise like it's honking or something.

7. I can only get internet in one place in the house, and that place is in a hallway. And with the help of an ethernet cord, a fiber optic cord, and a media adapter.

What's a girl to do when her campus housing has failed her? Why, submit a work order to facilities, of course! So that's what I did. And facilities promptly responded...by telling me to call the tech center. This whole process makes me feel all stabby inside. Not to mention my neck continues to swell up, and I have to walk to the library to use the restroom and to the gym to take a shower.

A few different departments on campus are aware of what I'm living in. So far, none have those departments have done a single thing to help.
