I couldn’t be hearing him correctly; surely the time switch and lack of real sleep had caused me to begin hallucinating. I asked to hear the words again.
Nope, they were right. My dorm wasn’t ready, regardless of the fact that I had just run back and forth to Commerce and waited in line for 30 minutes to buy assurance just so that I could be sure to be able to move into the room that night. But now they were saying the room wasn’t even ready at all. This meant spending the entire weekend in a hostel, but this was quickly eclipsed by the question of how I was going to get myself to said hostel when I was about to pass out. The only thing the man said to me was, “C’est la vie” – as if this explained everything.
I was too tired to even come up with a witty reply. I just said, “Non, c’est la nuit.”
