1. PATRIOTS LOSSSSSTTTTT!!!! Greg called and woke me up at 4 a.m. to tell me the good news. Just wish I could have seen the look on Tom Brady's face, yessssss!
2. My alarm went off this morning at 7:45, I layed in bed for a few minutes, waking up slowly, trying to remember my dream... maybe it was about an island. I was on the beach, soaking up the sun and listening to the waves coming in. Then just before I woke up, I dipped my toe in the water. Ahhh.
But then I realized, I really was on an island when I woke up. BECAUSE MY ENTIRE ROOM WAS FLOODED.
So I screamed and woke Kate up, and rushed around picking up everything on the floor which had been soaking in the water which was cascading out from the bathroom sink for the past 2-3 hours. Luckily, there wasn't too much major damage, and it could have been a lot worse. Nothing valuable of mine or Kate's was lost. My Italian books and notebooks were in my bookbag on the floor, so they were all soaked. Kate got lucky, she usually leaves her Mac on the floor to charge overnight, but last night she took it out to the living room and charged it there. The biggest loss seems to be our friend Clare's laptop which she left here over the weekend- it was the first thing I picked up off the ground, but it isn't quite functioning as of now.
What happened was one of our roomates had gone out to watch the Superbowl at the HardRock, and got back around 5 when it was over. She went in the bathroom to wash her face but the hot water wasn't coming out for some reason. She thought she had turned the nob all the way off, but had actually turned it full blast since there was really no way to tell. After she went to bed, the problem with there not being any water was apparently fixed, and wallah! Two hours later there's an inch of water in my bedroom.
So we made the Italians here reeeally grumpy, they had to come up with an industrial shopvac and suck up all the water, probably mumbling about us stupid Americans the whole time... but in the end, we have something to eternally bust on Kiki about, and we did do a little jig in the water with the camera before it got cleaned up.
Horray for Mondays.
