I was hoping she would send an email like this, because I was having lots of problems with my dorm life.

I am a very important person and I have some important things to say about the floor.
-I have tried several times to take the screen out of the window so I can get more air, but it will not budge. Maintenance has ignored my repeated requests for assistance.
-Never once have I been able to see the other room of my dorm. Myself and Joey had agreed to have one room each with the bathroom in the middle, but we cannot get into the other room through the bathroom. The door says "unlocked," but will not budge. There is no keyhole, so I don't see how we have no access to this room.
-I am aware of the midnight weed smoking sessions in the 4th floor lounge, and I am upset that nobody on the floor has ever invited me to participate. It's not that I would like to go -- I simply would like to have options.
-The French shower is a nice addition to the bathroom, but every time I try to use it, the water always swirls downward, never shooting up like it's supposed to. Again, Maintenance ignores me.
-Sometimes there is too much noise coming from the room above me. I always go up to the 8th floor and knock on the RA's door, but the girl in there keeps insisting she's not the RA and always refers me back to you. This girl doesn't deserve to be employed by the University.
-I sometimes try to place local calls, but every time I try to call off campus, I have to wait for the call to go through. While I wait, I have to listen to some annoying, bizarre minimalist techno song. It only has two notes, a diminished fifth in interval, repeating over and over. If I have to wait for calls to go off campus, I would appreciate a more diverse soundtrack.
-It takes FOREVER for the elevator to get to my floor. Why does Shively not have a staircase?
-I've searched repeatedly for my mailbox, but I cannot even locate a hall desk on our ground floor. Again, this lack of service makes me question Ball State's reputation.

I republish this letter here because Jamie has yet to reply. (She's still the best RA ever)
