nowhere near Kansas

I owe you all a more detailed post, and I'll write one tonight. I would just like to point out that the intercom in my room (yes, it has an intercom) just came on to announce that "sterilization will be taking place in the whole dorm today, and will be lasting from 9am to 5pm." Apparently, I "may stay in my room during sterilization." Not sure why I'd want to, though...
