The spy of UWA

I had an Archaeology exam from 10am to 10.40am today, then nothing else until SCA training at 4pm. All I wanted was to sit in the cheerful and friendly Queer Department clubroom with my laptop and take a break. So I went up to the clubroom and found the door locked. I got out my laptop and went to the FB page to ask if anyone with the key was in school. The general response: Go to the Christian Union room, climb out into the balcony, break into QD via balcony.

I had on occasion seen other QD people do that for fun, but hadn't thought I'd have to do it. XD So I went down to the Christian Union room and was met by a nice but confused guy who kindly opened their window for me and watched me awkwardly clamber out with all my bags (in addition to my backpack and the strapped-together laptop and files in my arms, I was carrying two huge extra bags with fabric and sewing stuff since I'm working on a new thick cloak). And there was SO MUCH JUNK on the balcony, overturned boxes and discarded sofas and tables and things that completely blocked the way. I had to climb ON the leaky faded brown sofa, which was so soft that I had to walk on its edge, and hop over the armrest and into a large purple table. I finally made it down the balcony to the QD (these rooms are in a single row at opposite ends of a long corridor, and are connected by the long balcony outside) and forced the balcony door open (it was jammed shut by a sofa inside the room) and climbed in, hop-skipping over the sofa in the process. Dropped everything with relief, switched on the lights, and unlocked the door.

Best part? I was wearing a black trenchcoat today. So if anyone in the Guild Village square (which this part of the building faces) had looked up at the balcony, they would have seen a figure in a trenchcoat carrying bulging bags and climbing out windows and over things on a balcony and breaking into another room. It's been a couple of hours and the police haven't shown up, though. XD

And about fifteen minutes after I broke in, the guy with the key showed up. XD



For the record, Peter's comment was posted after I'd shut the laptop and gone to the Christian Union room. XD
