Today is Yom Kippur, so Oberlin gave us all the day off (hooray!). One of my friends and I have plans to go out for lunch and spend the day watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and do absolutely no homework whatsoever.
However... I got up and did dishes this morning, and when I pulled my dorm door shut behind me, the doorknob fell off.
Our door hasn't been shutting properly for a few days now, and I think I know why - the screws that hold the outside knob on the door have become so worn that they're starting to become loose. I've already tightened them three times since we've been living here (thanks for the screwdriver, Daddy), but at this point, they're not doing much good. Roomie and I will have to put in a work order for our poor overworked doorknob. Perhaps while we're at it, we'll get them to fix our light fixture, which is currently being held together by a copious amount of packing tape. I'm now understanding the logic behind these cinderblock walls: they're pretty much impervious to damage, unlike everything else in the room.
The joys of living in a first-year dorm.
