A week has gone by…

*sigh* so a week has gone by at CRMS, and to be honest it’s been quite stressful. So far in this past week I have received homework (should of seen that coming), met and dealt with the teachers (most of them are good), have made at least acquaintances with my dorm mates and roommate, one of which is named Lexy, (I just can’t get away from them…), have adjusted to sleeping schedules (who knew that in fear of waking up my roommate I can book it out of bed faster than if I needed to go to the bathroom?) have successfully had the BEST pizza and shakes you can ever imagine, weeded with a oscillating hoe (thanks goes to Dexter for telling the name), have dealt with so many new people here (some of which who make my skin crawl) and have already successfully done a full load of laundry. And to be honest, I think the laundry is harder than the homework. (This is mostly aimed at my fellow ex-students) You know how when you need laundry to be done, all you need to do is drop it off by your laundry room or your washing machine which is probably only like a couple rooms away or a level down from your room and you either do it yourself (if you do, good for you, you understand a small part of what I did) or just leave it up to your parents (don’t worry, I did that too)? Well you know nothing about what I have to do now for most of my boarding school life. Today I had to walk across two dorms length of driveway (which is just around the size of three quarters the size of a football field), take it into my cafeteria (which we call the bar fork, I’ll do a walk of campus blog to tell you what it looks like), walk into the kitchen, walk down a flight of stairs with a laundry basket (full of laundry no less) and soap, and see if there is a washing machine free. If there is, I have to load up the washing machine with soap and load up the clothing, being careful of what I put in there to make sure I don’t potentially ruin the entire wash, and basically babysit it while it washes. And then do the cycle again with the dryer! See if one is open, if it is load it up and begin the tedious task of babysitting the dryer until done. If there wasn’t a washing machine or dryer open, well… I honestly don’t know what I would then. Haven’t had to deal with that ordeal yet. Guess I’ll find out then. Anyways, when I am done with all that (which takes roughly two hours, give or take), I have to then carry it all the way BACK to my dorm and fold it all up and put it away, which if you know me very well was not my strongest trait. Oh well, all in order to keep my room clean I guess. We have something called “dorm check” every night on the weekdays to allow us to catch up with each other and our dorm head to see if anything new has come up and see if there is any news. If not then we do our dorm jobs. And oh yeah, you know the punishment most of your parents have probably have told you of, “If you do this then you are going to need to clean the toilets!”? Yeah… Well that is actually a dorm job, not a punishment. And must be done EVERY night on the weekdays, as well as many other things, like clean the sinks and mirrors in the bathroom, sweep and mop the floor, wipe the windows, and so much more.

Well, anyways, enough of me rambling. Comment down below how your first week of school has gone, and how much homework you think you have. And if you are out of school, tell me how your week has been without your kids being there for eight days of the day? I would like to hear! Thanks, and talk to you all later! Bye!
