I live in a lake...

So, about a week ago, I returned to my college apartment to find the carpet in my living room to be soaked with water and full of mold. Aparently, water had soaked through the wall when a storm hit a couple of days before I came up. My backpack was sitting by the wall and got moldy as well as my bookcase which was ruined. I moved everything out and early the next morning, the landlord sent over a carpet guy to replace all the carpeting.

Well, yesterday, one week after the carpet was replaced, I awoke to find my carpet soaked again. I couldn't believe it. This is not something you expect to happen twice in one week. Well, this time is turns out that the reason for the mess was a sewer backup. Half my carpet was soaked with sewer water and I had to move most of my stuff out of the room and into my bedroom again. Turns out I didn't get the worst of it either. The guy on the other side of the apartment apparently came home after a twelve hour shift at 9am to find his apartment about ankle deep in water.

Well anyway, the carpet that was wet had to be removed because it was contaminated with sewer water. Keep in mind this carpet was just put in a week ago. As of right now, about 36 hours since it happened, the carpet hasn't been replaced. This means I can't watch tv, play my xbox or PS2, or generally use half of my apartment. Fun huh?

Anyway, thought some of you might find this humorous. Please pity me.

Included some pictures of my absent carpeting and crowded bedroom.
