If you read my last post..we moved our daughter into her suite at the prestigious...college of her choice(ha). We were met with deplorable conditions and a report of a really horrible roommate situation.  Upon arriving home Sunday night I emailed the Dean of Students..about my concerns about my daughter's safety. We will call her Sunshine.
 
I heard first thing Monday morning from the Dean. She told me she would completely handle the situation and make sure that Sunshine felt safe and that she did not have to room with this girl. She assured me she understood our concerns and while she could not tell us what the consequences to this girl would be (privacy issues), she would not bother my daughter (hmm..she can not assure this but okay..).  She agreed that the girls who were in the room deserved to live in clean, safe conditions and said she would send housekeeping in to clean/sterilize the suite.

Last night hubby and I made the 50 mile trek there and back to move her things into a temporary room until her room is cleaned and sanitized and the roommate could move her things out. The other suite mates moved out yesterday..completely to a new dorm.  We took her to dinner at the Olive Garden where her most favorite childhood/college friend works. He waited on us of course and gave us all the perks. It was great food and we enjoyed ourselves. We returned Sunshine to her dorm, spoke once again with the adult resident of the dorm..and went home. Arriving around 10:30pm..we rushed to prepare for bed..and fell exhausted to sleep immediately. 200 miles we have traveled in 2 days.. YUCK!!

Around 11:15p.m.  I start receiving texts from Sunshine..OMG mom..she is going to be here in an hour..What do I do??
I told her to tell little miss roommate that she was tired and going to bed now..she would see her tomorrow..hopefully missing her in the a.m. also.  Lock the room you are in..and don't open it. Tell my daughter I love her..everything will be okay etc..Fall back to sleep. Around 1:00 another text..OMG mom they are here and she wants me to come talk to her..I said fake that you are asleep. So she does. We share several more texts as I can imagine my daughter is huddled in her dorm bed..scared to death. Great image to go to sleep with. Ha! I manage to fall back to sleep after a quick prayer to the powers that be..to protect my daughter.

I awake at 5:15 to my husband asking me questions..which I hate by the way. I answer all his questions and drop off to sleep yet again..to wake at 6:00 with my alarm. YUCK!! I message my daughter to no avail..I quickly tell myself this is not unusual..she will get back to me. When she does finally text me..she says.. Someone burnt some chicken in our dorm last night causing the fire alarms to go off at 3a.m. She was evacuated from her dorm with roommate (ha..can you believe this) and rm's boyfriend. It was pouring down rain and they were all drenched in their p.j.'s. OMG..life sometimes. They were finally taken to another dorm to stay for over an hour waiting to be let back in which I assure you was miserable..as it is an airconditioned space. YUCK!!

This morning the roommate confronted Sunshine on how this all got reported to the authorities at the school. I had told her to blame it on us. First she told her the other two girls went ballistic when they saw the conditions they were moving into. Ha! Then she told her her parents had a fit..and oh well. Sunshine left to register for classes..and these two jokers followed along with her. My daughter said she deserved an academy award for her performance this morning with the roommate (now she is learning).

Next thing I heard from her she was hiding out in her car. The roommate has threatened to beat the HELL out of the other roommates..and Sunshine thinks she will be next. I talked her into going to her Aunts house to stay the rest of the day. She has to return for a mandatory hall meeting at 7. Glory be..what a life..and a terrible start to her Junior year. YUCK!!

So she is on the way to aunt/uncles house to hang out for the rest of the day. Bless her heart..Things have got to improve on some level..ha...Pray for us people..We be needing it..  :D Ha!
