Bats and life

i've been wondering for a long time what to write and even though i now have a laptop i am only away from when in class or during meals, i haven't done much better with blog posting. but something that happened just now has prompted an urgent post.
today is the third and final day of our fest Ensemble and since sn's brother was here for it, we finally coordinated our schedules enough to go out and have a meal together. the ladies decided the outing called for dress up and we cleaned up decently well(people were shocked enough to call it dolled up!). after a hearty meal full of cheese, good ham, laughs and topped with a good drive, we returned to our 10x10.
absentmindedly i unlock the door. sn and sk are behind me and all three are squabbling. i switch on the lights and wham! i see two bats flying across my room straight at me! i shrieked i think and jumped into sn's room and closed it shut. then we debated how they could've come and how we should get them out. finally sn and i ran down to find some help from the workers et al. thankfully we didn't have to go further than the hostel landing...there were three workers packing up for the day. we told them of my room and they got so excited at the prospect of catching a bat that all they way to my room, they were cracking jokes for us and giggling like excited little girls :|
watching them jumping and swinging broom and happily fighting the bats was an experience. i, the brave girl, was crouching at the end of the corridor behind a turn. sn was there too. sk was so brave she refused to step out of sn's room. we could see them making plans to catch the bats. one got hit by the broom but landed in the shelf above the tables. the other probably realised the battles a losing fight, so it flew out the room and straight across the corridor at sn and me. oh how i screamed! and when it landed just at the turn where we were crouching, i ran. i ran like crazy to other end of the corridor with sn close at my heels. all i can say is it must've been a funny sight for sure, but i couldn't have cared less!
bottom line...the workers had in their hands two bats and they happily walked off like pirates after a loot and a very scared me walked surreptitiously into my room. phew! no more bats to scare me. i hope.
