Edmund, We Need A Bigger Room


So, there was a line to check in at our hotel because of course the bus dropped us all off in a cluster, and we all had to be patient and calm even though every cell in my body at least was screaming "SHOWER!! SHOWER NOW!!!! No more plane! No more bus! shower shower shower!!!!!!!!!!" And I thought ITC was going to drop where he was standing. So even though none of us have a room, and are very tired, this guy already staying there comes down and kind of gets in line while we are all befuddled like cows in a dipping chute and we end up behind him. And what Mr. Already Has A Room And Bed And Shower wants is a bigger room. A room like "my friends in 312 have. I want a room like that one. My room is too small." And he kept raising his voice to the desk clerk and I'm thinking "buddy, there are no other rooms, you are screwed, baby." So the clerk is trying to find him something and this whiny 20-something Virginia Tech student 'roid loving weenie is worried that maybe the clerk doesn't understand how upset he is, so starts getting agitated and repeating himself over and over. Finally the clerk tells him he'll see what he can do after everyone checks in.
When we get to our room, it is perfectly fine. You can do yoga in it if you want to. There's plenty of room. So now we keep demanding a bigger room to each other, because really, if we wanted to flood it and ice skate, we couldn't have very long races.
