Loving the sarcasm, by the way. Everytime I try to do a humorous or sarcastic blog post, I have to add a disclaimer because my blog is listed on my church blogrole and someone always takes me way too seriously.

Me too, Shaun. Me too.

Schools are bad enough…but throw in dormitories, awful dining hall food and community showers, and you have a whole new dimension to it. I can’t believe I survived it, really.
