1. Description
As soon as I opened the door to the apartment, I knew that my roommate had played party host all weekend long. The first thing I noticed was the smell of cigarette and beer. At the right hand side of the door, empty bottles were lying everywhere, under the couch, on the couch, under the table and on the table. Food was also spilled over the couch, leaving some stains. The beer pong table was still there, with empty and half-empty glasses on top. It was even more obvious when I saw my roommate lying on the floor next to the bathroom’s door. No doubt that it has been a crazy weekend party.

When it was all said and done, I was just glad to call it a day. Since early in the morning, I barely had time to eat or sleep. The wedding ceremony started at around 7 in the morning. I had to run back and forth to host guest as if I was the bride myself. My mother would occasionally call me in to help taking care the bride, since she herself was also tired with all these traditional rituals. Evening came, I was even busier. For there was not many people to help with the reception, I had to run errands, talk with the cook, and the list was endless. At that time, I just wished this wedding party was over. I did not have the energy to celebrate my brother’s big day; all I could think of was the warm bath and soft bed that were waiting for me back home.

There are many ways that the university bookstore takes advantage of students. First and foremost, the books are so expensive, somewhat more expensive that purchasing them elsewhere. The same thing happens with used books. With Amazon, students can purchase the same used books at a much lower price than that at our school bookstore. Not only does the bookstore take advantage of student with books but also other stuffs ranging from sweater to a bottle of coke. The price is just unreasonable. For example, a bottle of around 500mL coke costs around $1 while one can buy a big 2L from Wal-Mart at around $ 1.5 only.

4. Narration
My roommate has a very peculiar morning ritual. She wakes up very early in the morning. Then she would say some prayer in a very strange language I can’t detect. Her prayer ends with three bows, which she touches her head with the floor. After that, she would drink a cup of milk.
