Greetings one and all, I hope that you all had a fun Halloween and wore creative costumes. While we are speaking about the Halloween weekend, I would like to share a personal story from the night before Halloween. Well, technically it was already Halloween because this occurred at 2 in the morning. After a fun evening with some of my fellow hall-mates, I decided to retire to my room around 2:15 A.M. As I was trying to fall asleep in my warm and cozy bed; I heard a very loud noise. It sounded as if someone was rolling a trash can down the stairs and I didn't think that much of it. But then I realized that it had been several minutes and the rolling noise continued. The stairs don't go on for that long so this obviously eliminated my trash can theory. I decided to get up and investigate. I went into the hall and there was no one around. So I proceeded to look into the laundry room and realized that the bottom dryer was going and had 71 minutes left for this particular cycle. I knew the noise was coming from inside the dryer so I opened the door. Inside the dryer was a pair of tennis shoes! Someone had the brilliant idea to dry their loud, clunky shoes at 2 in the morning. I am not really sure why they needed the shoes dry at this particular hour. I just knew that I need to sleep. So I simply shut the dryer door and did not start the machine back up again. I felt bad because the owner of the shoes wouldn't have them dry on time, but I gained a night of quality sleep so I do not regret the decisions. So the moral of the story is do not dry your shoes in the middle of the night if you need them to be dry on time.
