I think exams is stressing me out a little bit. Okay, Maybe a lot.
A few days ago, after my Ethnic paper, I locked myself out of my room. My roommate just left for his two hour paper and I was stuck outside with my cellphone and 80 cents (I went to wash my clothes).

Now, the logical thing would be to go to the office to get an extra key or wait it out until the roommate returns.
What I did, however, was try to break into my room. Yes, you read right. I tried to break into my own room.
First, I went to the back door to try to unlock the door by squeezing my hands through the rails. I did that for 10 minutes only to realise the door was additionally locked at the bottom. Heh.
Then I went to my friend's place to get a chair to try to remove the glass panes on top of my front door and climb through. I carried the chair from one block to another (see, I was already losing my mind there and then) only to find the glass panes tightly held in place.
With almost no hope but to wait it out, I found a loooooooooong bamboo stick in my friend's room(about 2.5 meters long). With a stroke of (idiotic) genius, I brought it back to my room to try to hook the key to the bamboo shoot and successfully get back into the room.
What I got out of that attempt was some stares from some fellow floor mates and very sore arms. Okay lah, I looked really stupid poking a bamboo stick into my window like some deranged fellow trying to break in.
Wanna know why I didn't wanna get the office involved? Firstly, I didn't pay my electric bills for this sem. It's not like I purposely avoided it. It's just that by the time I remembered, it's the middle of the sem and I was kinda afraid that they'd fine me for having paid so late. Yes, I am still in Malaysia. Crappy bureaucracy remains a norm here.
I didn't wanna sit still because I really really wanted to get back to my room. I just mopped the place and wanted to enjoy it without the roommate around but alas.
My room was so clean okay. Sigh.
And now it's a disaster area again thanks to the tons of paper I have for revision.
Till another post, later days.
