I go to one of the best engineering schools in the country.
So my question is, why do I get doused in water every time I wash my hands in the women's restroom?!
Yes, it's true...the sinks are the sensory ones. You know the ones - where you put your hands under there and the water just comes on. But the sinks in the library...this is what happens: I slowly put my hands under the faucet and cringe waiting for the blast of water to come.
Nothing...nothing...WHAM! Water spraying everywhere!! It comes out so fast and with so much pressure that I feel like it doesn't even get on my hands! It just bounces right off and gets all over the sink, the mirror, my arms, and my shirt! Everywhere!! What?! Isn't there some way to turn down the water pressure?! I feel super bad for the custodians! I bet they're mopping up water in that place like every 15 minutes!
On another note, today is the presidential election. I'm kind of nervous for this one. But I haven't gotten as caught up on my politics as I should be. I used to be all about politics - knowing what was going on, arguing over controversial issues, and reading all kinds of politicalness! I still have a very strong opinion on what's going on...I'm just not as informed as I used to be!
All I know is that I am very glad that I live in the United States of America! I love this place!! And many people have given up a lot for us to be able to vote and to enjoy the freedoms that we do! More than a lot of people realize...
*Good Book: Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory by David W Blight (this one's for all those people who like to read historical study books...because that's what this is! But it's good if you're a nerd like me!!)
I know what you mean about those sensor sinks! There are two in the hospital and one of them works fine and the other one does not... It's really annoying.
