When you live with 3 of your classmates you can really sense that a paper is due soon. We’ve been getting up around 7, even on weekends.

The problem with our house is that you can’t have many secrets because sounds just gets amplified… So this morning I was woken up by Natalia cleaning up the dishes, it sounded like she was banging pots right in my bedroom. Just now I opened a well-deserved bottle of red wine.

Plop.

Me: “Pretend you didn’t hear that.”

Natalia and Audrey laughing at the other end of the house.

What’s amazing is that they are so dedicated that they could resist the temptation to meet me in the kitchen.
