Property of the State

After a pleasant visit home for the weekend, it is nice to be back in my institution.

By institution I don't mean this place of higher learning, I refer instead to my institutionalized state of living. I live in a cinder block room that is approximately 15" x 8". I share a community bathroom. Each floor of the facility has an appointed warden. My meals are provided for me three times a day in which I am treated to a selection of nutritious and well balanced foods. I move about the compound to my designated places of instruction at their designated times. While I am allowed contact with my loved ones, they may visit only on a limited basis and they are no longer conveniently located.

Being a creature of habit, this lifestyle is almost preferable to the tribulations which come with life on the outside. My power, cable, phone and internet are on when I arrive and I never receive a bill. The baths are cleaned on a daily basis. Perhaps most appreciated, I never have the ordeal of deciding what or where to eat.

The major distinctions between my accommodation and prison is riots and gang rapes are only on the weekends and I can leave anytime I want. What more could I ask for?

So, I found your blog while browsing the "random blogs" feature on this site, and your entry about your roommate made me laugh. I'm a sophomore, only 19 and I go to an art school so we don't really have much in common, but I am new to this site (my roommate suggested I get one of these) and I was happy to find a blog that wasn't someone selling stuff or some porn thing. My blog isn't set up yet but in the meantime I hope you don't mind me commenting.

...And aren't meal plans great?

Not at all, thanks for stopping by. I just hope I can continue writing things to warrant your return. I'm just happy to know someone is reading it.

Now hurry up and get yours going so I've got something to read. Please feel free to post your blog address on here once you have something. That goes for anyone else out there that has something interesting or uninteresting to say/blog.
