More changes in my life (as if anyone really needs to know about them)

As the title says, I really don't know why anyone is still reading this, being as the posts are most likely going to diminish slowly over the next year, but then will pick up again near summer of next year (stay tuned for "I'm Baaaaaaaccckkk...  Part II, coming next summer to this blog near wherever you read it!).
I forgot to mention in the last blog that I also had my name changed to Eitan over Pesach, so that's cool.  I don't really have much to say in terms of stuff I'm doing in school, being as next week is finals week and we've had study hall for this week so far, so that's that.  But, the boarding house stories?  In abundance.
Everyone has heard the stories of boarders who have had terrible experiences at their temporary homes: moldy food all the time (or no food), mean, crotchety people living with them - that's the hosts, and even taking the boarders' clothing when its left in the boarders hallway, where the hosts don't really have any reason to go into.  I've heard the stories, too.  But, what I didn't know going into this year, was that these guys?  They could have written the textbook.
These people are really old, and can be very crotchety at times.  Not to say that their mean people, but they have a tendency to be annoying.  Before winter break of this year, the house had three boarders.  Now it has two, because of the straw that broke the camel's back.  This guy wasn't the neatest person in the world, but he also wasn't as messy as I am.  When he did laundry, sometimes things fell out of the big pile he had to carry from the dryer onto the floor, and he didn't have time to pick the stuff up.  They saw that as a baaaad sign (sarcasm), and they decided - well, she decided - to take all his clothes that were left on the floor from now on.  This got him mad, and he got even madder when she refused to give him his clothes back.  So, he and his parents came to a mutual decision: he wouldn't come back after winter break.  When he told the hosts this, and asked for his clothes back, she still wouldn't give them to him!  He eventually did get his clothes back, though.
Another one of the more famous stories of this house comes form last year's boarders.  Every Sunday, she makes French Toast with the challah left over from shabbos, and sometimes uses other bread.  One time, the boarders saw that the French Toast was blue - it was moldy.
Well, I have to go now - class is about to start
As always, thanks for reading, even though the stories are bound to stop coming at some point.
BH, BH, BTTY, and don't forget to be awesome.
Bye.
