untitled...(tricky, hey?)

I get home Saturday evening around 8:30 for a quiet night at the dorms…or so I thought. I watch a movie with my friend, MJ, and then decide to head to bed ‘cause I’m so pooped from walking around Sydney all day. I’m in my bathroom, washing my hands…when all of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse of the hugest, hairiest, scariest spider I have ever seen just hanging out on my bathroom wall!!! None of my roomies are around and I am FLIPPIN’ out! After a minute I kinda regain my composure, go get my camera and snap a pic, and then call MJ. The call went a ‘lil like this:
MJ: “Hola?”
Me: “I need you. There’s a spider in my bathroom.”
MJ: “I’ll be right up.” (She’s thinking: “girly girl”)
MJ confidently walks in with a flip flop in one hand and says “Where’s the spider?” I lead her down the hallway of spidertown, timidly peek in the room, and point at the spider. MJ’s confidence melts as she begins screaming and trying to run away. After our girly panic attack MJ takes charge and finds some boys in the hallway. They come, freak out as well (very unashamedly I must mention), and tell us to call the office.

Finally our knight in shining armour comes armed with a t-shirt. He throws it on top of the spider and then walks out. I say thank you…but I don’t think he speaks/understands English. Ah, well. The excitement is over. But I still have pictures to freak myself out again any time I want!
