2. An Invasion Of Privacy.... A Warning

This past week seemed to drag on for a month.  Between all of the homework, tests, and reading, I was exhausted.  I decided to get away from MC and came home for the weekend. I live in Tupelo, Mississippi which is about a three hour drive from Clinton.  I left Friday afternoon and got home around three o'clock.  I unloaded my car and brought my luggage upstairs, only to find that my mother and sister had invaded my room.  I had heard rumors of this happening before, but I never believed it would happen to me.

I walked into my room to discover that I no longer had a bed.  Upon closer inspection, I realized that the bed was still there, but it was completely covered with their stuff.  I then traversed my way to the closet, dragging my stuffed bag behind me, and discovered that my mother has filled it with all of her out of season clothes.  

Finally I managed to cut a path to the bathroom.  I opened the door and to my relief everything seemed to be normal.  I decided to take a shower.  I went over to the storage closet in the bathroom to get a towel.  Keep in mind that I have only been away to school for two and a half weeks.  The closet was completely bare of any towels and was filled to capacity with my mother and sister's stuff.  

When I confronted my mother about all the changes, she made no apology what so ever, and even stated that in three years my room would become the work out room............the horror!

Consider this a warning, the rumors are true, so brace yourself when you go home.  You may find that you no longer have a room - welcome to college.
