My mom came to visit me today! She got here around 1:30 and then we cleaned for a good hour, went out to eat, got some more stuff to finish cleaning, finished cleaning, and then went bowling and played some arcade games. It was quite fun. For those of you wondering why my mom cleaned with me when she got here, it’s because the roommate that I share a bathroom with, Paige, is a slob. I was going to clean the bathroom and kitchen before my mom got here but I was talking to her about it on the phone when she was on her way here and she said that she would help me so that I didn’t have to do it by myself. Also, the main reason why I hadn’t done it before now is because I knew that if I did, one, my roommate wouldn’t have even acknowledged that I did so and two, she would have expected me to keep doing so. I don’t think my mom really believed me when I said that until we were out in the living room watching Dexter when Paige and her sister (her family came to visit, too) came in and she didn’t even notice that it was clean when it was so noticeably cleaner in the apartment. What really blew my mom’s mind/kind of pissed her off was when Paige went into the bathroom, which was so incredibly disgusting before we cleaned it, she didn’t even notice it was clean and we cleaned very well in there. We cleaned the sink, the floor, the toilet, and even the inside of the tub and Paige didn’t even notice. My mom was like, yeah, I see why you didn’t want to clean now. So she’s also going to come down the weekend before finals to help me clean really well and to take some stuff home with her so she doesn’t have to come down again a few days after when I finish finals. I’m also going to ask the people who check me out when I leave if they will come look at the bathroom and kitchen before I leave because of the fact that if Paige leaves after me, she can destroy it in those few days and I don’t want to get fined for something I didn’t do. Since I’m in an apartment and not a dorm, I’m pretty sure they just look at the place once all of us are gone which is why I want them to look before I leave. Especially since I should be done with finals after Tuesday so I’d leave probably around noon or sooner on Wednesday while Paige probably won’t be leaving until Friday or Saturday since her parents have to come from Minnesota to help her move out because she doesn’t have a car here and can’t really take everything back with her on a bus.
Wow, sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant. Anyways, today was a pretty great day!
