A huge bug flew into the apartment from the small opening from my partially open balcony door (how did that happen? I remember closing and locking it a few days ago). I saw it as it danced along the walls. Huge long legs. A huge mosquito. But then somehow it disappeared from my sight and I didn\’t think much about it as I idled around for the next few hours (when I could have been studying for finals).

Then it came back again into view right before I went to sleep. Normally, girls would scream. But I am not that type. Instead, I grabbed a plastic bag from the kitchen and put the bag over it. I opened the balcony door and dropped the bag outside. I heard the bug skittering inside, screaming.

Two years ago, there was a spider in the apartment and my roommates asked me to take care of it. So I did the same thing, \”coaxed\” the spider to go inside a plastic bag. Then I promptly dumped it outside. I remember one of my roommates shrilly asking, \”Why did you let it live?!\”

I just hope that doesn\’t happen next year.
