Well, the police just came and took my computer along with those of my roommates. Somebody in the room has tried to hack into some business office. My resident director came with them, and she found a few bottles of alcohol so I had to pour those down the drain. I’ll get into some sort of trouble with that. One of my roommates had some pot in his closet and a scale so they’re trying to get him for distribution. They say that they’ll have found what they’re looking for on the computers in a couple weeks so I’m sans computer until then. Phew, what a day.
