So long has passed since King’s and I’ve been tied up with so much other stuff, lemme see if my memory is still fresh.

So we got into our rooms and not having anything else to do, we went and turned on the TV. HBO seemed like it had a good TV show on, only problem was that the prominent word in that “film” was f***. After about 5 minutes of watching the show, we counted exactly 28 instances of the forbidden word and then some. So, we switched it to Comedy Central instead (or maybe it was TNT, can’t remember), and watched Family Guy for the rest of the night until around 11. Then we set off to sleep and we got the most comfortable beds that the hotel could give us – ok, by now you should know I’m being sarcastic. If you didn’t catch that, well…start catching. Anyways, the bed was taken up by Val, fully, so we had to open up the couch and fit two people there. Of course, this doesn’t leave much choice for the rest of the group as they have to get the floor and sleep on the couch cushions. The couch bed thing was horribly creaky, however, and you couldn’t really move around without making a lot of noise on it. Furthermore, it had this big arch in the middle of it which makes you wake up and realize you’re the next Hunchback of Notre Dame – with a reversed hump, that is. Added to that, it was pretty darn cold, but I had a blanket so I slept fine. Middle of the night comes and I wake up. It’s horrendously cold. I cannot go back to sleep. I get off of the bed and move to the couch. Big mistake! It wasn’t the noise that was bad, I managed not to awake anyone, but it was more of the stupidity that underlined the whole process. Let me explain. It was cold. There was one blanket. I devoided myself of that blanket as soon as I left the bed to my team mate who was left sleeping there (as I could not just snatch it away from him). But I didn’t want to stay on the bed either because it was very, VERY uncomfortable. So it was really a lose-lose situation but I chose the lesser loss. It was actually more comfortable to sleep in a one-seat couch sitting upright than it was on that bed. But now it’s cold and I have no blanket. Well, I could use my wet towel…and that’s what I did. It managed to dry out, and I snugly fell asleep for the rest of the night.

In the morning, our little “cabin” group starts talking about how uncomfortable all the beds were, all except Val of course. The people sleeping on the ground didn’t even have a blanket! Furthermore, Will had slept next to the door and we pretty much agreed that he got the worst of it. Not that anyone was using the door during the night, but there was a fountain right outside of our room. That fountain was on all night long and it loud. And the room was cold. Did I mention it was freezing cold in our room? That morning, we also figured out where the heater controls were. We never found a microwave, though.

Oy, and to think that I’m only up to Saturday morning…this is the last day I have to get through, so perhaps part 6 will be the last.

Until then,
To be continued!
