Hey all. So my trip to New York was phenomenal in all possible ways; between having Marie in, the trip to Uptown Cottage, and seeing the family, this was exactly what I needed to recharge for the upcoming finals weeks. However, going back to DC was not exactly what I was hoping for...
First, my Amtrak was delayed in getting to Penn Station, and I ended up not getting in until 1230am. After that, whether through lack of snuggling or just general unwillingness on the part of my mind/body, I was unable to get to sleep until 3am. To compound this indignity, I was awakened at 830am (five minutes before my initial alarm goes off), by a loud thump on my window. Turns out that they decided to clean the windows this morning without telling anyone, and I was greeted by the sight of a man with a squeegee rapelling down the side of my building.
Now don't get me wrong, it's not like I sleep in the nude or am keeping anything illicit in my room. I just don't enjoy being woken up with loud noises at all, and especially before I have to. It really wouldn't have hurt GULC to do this cleaning later in the day, or to warn us it was happening. Sometimes mornings need to go away, and come back when I'm better able to cope.
May all your hits be crits,
B
