hey,
yesterday was the time and day of the week when I had to practically lock my doors and hide in my room. Every monday nights, my floor government has a floor meeting. I attended one. And it was a complete waste of time. None of my suite mates attend the floor meeting as well. Plus, my bed time (after the daylight savings adjustment) coincides with the time of the floor meeting. So too bad. But it's really irritating how they will go from door to door, knock on each door, and shout 'floor meeting'. We will all make sure to not play any music and be really really quiet to prevent detection. Once, one of my suite mate forgot and was still blasting music when they came and the door knocker (yes, they actually have an official door knocker in the floor government) shouted, "i can hear your music. I know you are in there. Come out for floor meeting now."
It's really irritating. At times, I really feel as if I'm being persecuted, just like how the Jews were persecuted during WWII. And to think that I'm in the US, the supposedly most democratic country in the world and thus, I have the freedom to choose what I want to do. On my 4th day here, they had some early dinner gathering thing that I couldn't attend cos I was travelling with my friends around downtown LA. And because we couldn't attend the gathering we couldn't have dinner that day because they cancelled our right to swipe for dinner that day simply cos we didn't attend the gathering. And we were soo annoyed and we got more annoyed because we were hungry.
But luckily, not too long ago, we found the perfect way to deter these irritating people from knocking on our doors. Because there is another door separating the other rooms and the hallway leading to our rooms, we have been consistently closing that door and so all that we can hear is a muffled knock and a muffled 'floor meeting'. Goodness. But apparently the floor meetings' attendance isn't very good. Not surprising.
haha..end of my whining session. take care! and see everyone soon!
cheers,
