Why is there no place on this campus that I can go that is quiet enough for me to TAKE MY BLOODY EXAMS?

In other news, the security around here really is abysmal... All of the buildings are supposedly locked so that you need a card to get in, but because students are lazy asses, the doors are always being propped open. Not only that, but the sliding door on the north side -- even when it's closed -- all you have to do is shove at it and it opens.

Well, you can still lock your room, right? Yes.... except that the RAs have a set of keys that will open every door. Which, you know, is fine if your RAs are sensible and responsible. Which mine isn't. I managed to lock myself out of my room this afternoon, and went to knock on her door to see if she could let me in. She wasn't there, but her door was unlocked, and there was a set of keys sitting on the desk right in front of the door. I borrowed the keys and went to try them on my door (bad mikke) and guess what? They opened my door. So this girl sees nothing wrong with leaving the set of master keys around unsupervised in an unlocked room. Sigh.

Oh, they'll be plenty concerned about security when someone gets raped or murdered in their room.

*shrug* RA's often don't give a shit. My sophomore year, ours let us in to our next door neighbor's room to play a prank.

It was a fairly harmless prank (toilette paper and fruit loops), but now I'd be pissed if she had let someone into my room.

That's appalling! Gahh.

The comment above reminds me -- when one of my friends came back to Risley after winter break his freshman year, he found that his room had been transformed into a disco hall and there was a party going on. He was pretty cool about it, though.

That sort of thing -- both the disco and the toilet paper -- are standard fare up at Mudd, where they have something called the "chem prank." You see, all incoming freshmen are required to take this chemistry course, and all students of this course sit for the exam at the same time. So while the freshman are off taking the exams, the sophomores sneak, beg, borrow or break their way into their rooms and play pranks.

There are lists you can put yourself on -- there's a "no prank" list and a "no computer prank" list -- that is, no pranks done to your computer -- but if you get put on those you can't play or even assist with any pranks the next time.
