It's Not Everything I Thought It'd Be

Its been five days since our last final and guess what? We're bored. I forgot how horrible afternoon television really is and when you're living off student loans, you don't exactly have the funds to go out and explore. So we mostly just read (until 3:00 when the People's Court comes on).

To make matters worse, we're lucky if we're able to sleep much past 7:00. This is the view from our bedroom window:

It gets dark here around 4:30, so there's not a lot of daylight to work with. Work starts as soon as the sun comes up around 7:00 or 7:30. Monday morning they were hammering. Today they were cutting metal pipes. To make matters worse, some of the heavy equipment shakes our apartment. When construction started about a month ago, they had a steamroller that shuck our whole apartment almost constantly. Today, they had some heavy equipment that would give us a short, mild shake every once in a while. It's a little like trying to read in a moving car.

For our law school friends, yes, we are thinking of bringing a nuisance cause of action against the construction.

Oh well, tomorrow's another day with nothing to do but curse the construction.

Since you're looking for cheap fun, I have a plan: Every evening after they finish working on the construction site, you should sneak over there and DEconstruct whatever they've, er, constructed during the day. This will no doubt lengthen the construction period, but it'll be worth it.
