Sleepless NOT in Seattle

I've been moved again. This time it was in the process of converting my dorm into a kitchen workers' dorm. I guess they're grouping them together to make it easier to call them to work. Eighteen of twenty-eight guys were moved out and eight of those that stayed are janitors for the dorm. Quite a turnover.

I was moved down the hallway to a dorm with two of four showers that work, one of five sinks that work, a water fountain that doesn't have water, and no hot water pot to get hot water for cooking. I only know two of the guys that were in here when I arrived and, as far as I know, none of these guys are fellow Christians.

Added to the unfortunate circumstances are the guys who beat and rap all night long. In my last dorm I stayed up all night because it was quiet and a perfect time to read. The noise here makes it tough to stay focused on the page. I'm looking forward to a swift move out of this dorm or these guys to stay quiet and go to sleep. I would prefer the former.
