Last night I had a little ordeal with my toilet that spilled over into the morning. The toilet adjacent to my room takes a really long time to flush. I have to hold down a button and wait for it to actually flush. Last night before going to bed I pushed the button as usual, but the toilet wouldn't flush. The water would just run. I tried pushing it again, but still nothing. Just the lovely sound of the water running to somewhere other than the toilet. I said, "well, it'll shut off soon by itself," so I left it and went to my room. This was around 1:15am. I can hear the toilet from my room and 10 minutes later it is still running. I go back to check it out, but I can't find the problem.* I'm just really hoping that it'll shut off. I go back to my room and try to fall asleep but all that I can think of is this stupid toilet running without knowing when it will shut off. I wonder if I'll have water for a shower the next morning, but I reassure myself that I will because the toilet is bound to shut off, right?? It's now 2:30am and the toilet has still not stopped running. it's not overflowing, but the water is just running. By this time I am worried sick that I broke my host family's toilet and they'll never forgive me or that I am somehow running up their water bill. I calm down, still a bit frustrated and manage to get to sleep. I had to put my earplugs in because the running water was making my blood pressure rise. I think I woke up half dazed around 5:30 and the toilet had stopped. I don't know if it did it on it's own or if the mom or the dad woke up and noticed it was running. I was really relieved that it had finally stopped.
The next morning I get up to take a shower and....you guessed it no water!! What had I done?! It was now 10am and I had a class at 11am, and I hadn't showered. I talked to their cleaning lady and she told me just to wait. I waited and it finally came on 15 minutes later. I didn't have enough time to take a shower so I ran my hair under my faucet just to get it wet so I could do something with it. I really hope I didn't break their toilet.

The * is to emphasize that I have to walk through one of the girl's rooms to get to the toilet. i'm sure she didn't appreciate me walking through her room multiple times to check on the toilet. I'm also pretty positive that she didn't like the running water all night.
Yeah, well in my book if they know they have a "tricky" toilet and the other girl knew you'd be walking through when they (the host family) decided to take in an exchange student, so buck up little camper! It's all good!
