The Wax

Ever use your lamp as a candle warmer? Ever have it tip over and spill wax all over your floor? Well, we did. This may not seem to be a big problem, but when you have your RA living with you, it tends to be an issue of secrecy. KTSue poked her head into Lindz' room to see what was up. During the conversation, an unknown force swept across the room, tipping the light. Before we knew it, candlewax had dumped all over the floor. And it wasn't just a little bit of wax, you know those Yankee Candles? Imagine one of those. Shock turned to panic as Lindz' fav words became "holy shit!". So if you find yourself in the above mentioned situation, first things first...shut the door! You don't want your RA finding out, do ya? (According to Cait, "she'll fine ur ass out the butt!") :) Second, hop on google. In doing so you will discover the best way to remove wax from carpet is: allow to dry, use student i.d. card or another form of i.d. to scrape excess wax off carpet. Next, obtain a brown paper bag or any towel you don't want to ever use again and place over stained carpet. You better hope your mamma packed you that iron cause your gonna need it. Now if you do not have one go to your nearest Wal-Mart, Black & Decker portable iron $20. Iron over top of towel and or bag allowing the wax to be soaked up. Step 3, pray to god your RA doesnt see whats left of that tiny stain. Final step, feel quite confident that you got all but a tiny spot of wax outta the carpet and did not get fined out the ass. P.S. This whole situation could have been avoided if the R.A. would have informed us that we were allowed to have candle warmers in our rooms. Just as a note...ask your R.A. what is and is not allowed....also note if it's not allowed there are ways around it!! Thanks & Love
