I have been hearing strange noises in the mornings too. I thought they were coming from the ceiling - the space between my ceiling and the floor of the dorm above me. So I tore out as much of the ceiling as I could and there wasn't anything there!

So then the next morning I heard it again, and this time it was under the floor. Pretty sure. So borrowed a hoe from the gardeners and started tearing up the floor. STILL NO LUCK! BUT! I did find what must have been their nest. There was a little couch and a tiny plastic table and a flat plastic fake TV with a decal on it.

No doubt about it. Wild barbies. They had that outbreak of them in the woods last fall, but everything was supposedly fine. But I think they are starting to infest the dorms now. Maybe all this fake ice and snow from the Winter Festival is forcing them into the buildings to seek heat.

Let's face it people - they are PESTS. They are not just cute plastic symbols of your youth and misogyny. They are irritating, noisy, filthy creatures, and if something isn't done soon we'll have a REAL PROBLEM on our hands.

I request that the grounds dept look into this immediately.
