The Girl Who Had To Live In Silence...
21 Qiuet Hours is now in effect. It's harsh let me tell ya. We can only make noise during a 3 hour span from 4pm-7pm...and it's hard. When Allie and I woke up the first day it started we forgot it was quiet hour...if there was a proctor around, I'm sure we would have gotten fined. Thankfully there wasn't. We woke up around 10, got breakfast around 11...and by 12 I reached my peak. I didn't think I could handle it anymore. I was sure I was going to crack. Uncontrollable laughter took control over my body... Allie whispered for me to block the sound using my pillow. It helped...but it was still a close call. I thought to myself - How will I last the remaining 7 days of this torture? Thankfully I leave on Wednesday, unlike Allison, who only leaves the following Saturday.
I talk loud...I laugh loud...I type loud...I believe I am naturally loud. It is only a matter of time until I receive a fine...When will it happen? How many will I receive? What will I be doing when I get it?
Today, around the same time as yesterday, I was struck with the urge to laugh again. Allie signaled for me to use the pillow so I chose to use the run and dive technique...this was bad. The sound of my head smashing against the hard wall, I'm sure, was much louder then my laughing. Then my cries of pain really topped it off. Now Allison was the one laughing. This wasn't funny...due to quiet hours, I almost seriously injured myself. Could I have sued? Who would be liable for such an incident?
Madness...sheer madness is the only explanation. As you walk through the building of Rigby Hall...you hear nothing. Silence has now taken over...a fate worse then death itself.
I don't know if I have the power to control myself. I don't think I can last much longer....this will be my end...
Farewell to all of whom I loved...
