You gotta be kidding me!

Its the last 3 days in my college career, 3 finals left, I have been up for 2 days studying, and when I finally get the chance to get some sleep my toilet floods my bathroom at 4:30 in the morning. I was up until around four doing class work when i felt a rumbling in my tummy. I was just about done with the work that I had set out to complete so i took a break to make a trip to the bathroom. I rose to flush the toilet when it filled to the top and over flowed onto the floor. i immediately reached behind the toilet to turn off the water , but of course, the shut off valve was broken. Once I realized that twisting the valve was not going to shut the water off I took the tank lid off  and poured water in the back until it filled up and shut off the water. Feeling accomplished because I was able to divert this tragedy I then realized that I was standing in 2 inches of water which covered my entire bathroom floor. And yes, I had shoes on. Now I had to figure out how I was going to get this layer of poop water off of my floor. After about 30 minutes of pondering I decided that it would just be better to call and wake up the residence hall assistant. When i called her, she then called and woke up the Housing Director who then called and woke up the maintenance crew. By the time that maintenance showed up to my room, it was 6:30 in the morning. They came in, moped it up and left around 7:00 am. I forgot to mention that I had a final exam at 7:30 am.
