New Year, New Room, New... clearing?

I have to say that I admire the way this hall of Residence is organised.  The University tries to provide 1st years with accommodation, though they don't always succeed.  This hall expects people to drop out, so offers some people 'temporary' rooms, to more students than there are rooms proper.  Then, when someone does eventually drop out, one of the 'temps' can move in.  Having been in this situation for three and a half months, I have finally moved into a better quality room.  I understand that the previous occupant of the room was something of an introvert, and hid behind the 'mysterious door'.  However, he left me the very pleasant gift of about 15 plastic, 2l water bottles in one of the cupboards, which will eventually find their way to the recycling bins.  He also left a toaster, and hidden amongst the afore mentioned plastic bottles, an electric razor.   Not that I have any use for it, I handed it over quite happily to some friends.  They don't seem to trust me with it, for some reason...
