My life on campus (2)

My First Experience with Cold water.
   At home, I have easy access to hot water. Therefore, I always use hot water to have my bath. That is why this experience is one of my unforgettable experiences.
   The next day after I resumed school, the water heater stopped functioning. I woke up that day ready to explore my new surroundings. When I got to the bathroom, I turned the tap on, expecting to get hot water, only to have my bucket filled up with cold water. I did not bring a kettle along from home because I was told that hot water facilities were available. So I stood in the cubicle wondering how I was going to have my bath with cold water on that cold morning.
   Toughening up, I took the first scoop close my eyes and poured it. I literally screamed when the water came down on me. It came as such a great shock that I didn't even realise when I screamed. A girl noticed that I was struggling with the temperature of the water and she smiled to me and said "Don't worry. It gets better with each splash."
   Given that slight encouragement and hoping she was right, I took the next scoop and splashed the water with such briskness, washed up very fast, dried my body with a towel and walked hurriedly back to my room. The girl was right. It did get better with every splash but I didnt enjoy the experience.
   The highlight of that day, however, turned out to be my meeting with a new roommate who I became very good friends with and I am still friends with. Who would have thought anything good would have happened that day, when the day started out quite roughly?
