If ever a person must be diligently organized it is whilst attending Trinity University. Showers are an essential component of any college students routine, although that could be argued for some, and here at Trinity the chance for a warm shower must be planned to the moment. Thus far I have only heard stories of desparingly cold showers but his morning I was lucky enough to join the ranks of shivering students. Anytime before 11am is a bad time to chance your shower temperature. Before 8am can prove fruitful and if you are particularly diligent you can time most classes in your flat and hop on in when you think you've beat them to it. So really it's part organization and part risk, I say risk because a cold shower anytime before noon is a heart wrenching matter that will send you running for your warm blankets leading to missed class and multiple naps. On top of this, if you happen to have a leaky shower, which of course I do, you must try and plan your showers for moments when you suspect that no one is in the kitchen below you, therefor no one will come screaming up the stairs at you. All this, of course, relys on the fact that your water is running at all. I continue to turn my cold water tap off only to hear it spewing liquid minutes later because really I have turned it full on and it happend to not be working at the moment.
I lay no blame on Trinity for these things, in fact, it has become a lovely running joke amongst us internationals and even the local students seem to get a kick out their buildings lack of running water - it just doesn't get anymore destitute than no running water. I prepare you now, future Trinity exchange students, the going will be ghetto but worth every damn penny.
