10:00 PM Hit out (first time) with a girl who has been coming to parties lately
10:15 pm – Wander into the kitchen for a snack — the refrigerator door is open, a piece of American cheese is dried and drained on the counter. No one else is in the kitchen
23:30 – Part of me wants to sleep, but everyone is still awake, so I keep going
23:45 – Hit out (second time) with a girl who has been coming to parties lately
12:15 am – Go to the bathroom to find someone left cocoa in the toilet and it didn’t flush
1:00 A.M – Fall asleep on the couch during a quiet night
1:30 am – Woke up to a loud bang in the common room – Cause still unknown
2:00 AM – The music and the TV keep playing…no one is watching
2:15 am – Someone is crying uncontrollably in the next room. He just enjoys his tears and not vomit.
Saturday – 7 am – You have to wake up to go to some volunteer event that seemed like a good idea 3 weeks ago. House is already a huge mess in some ways.
