A Surprising Weekend

I have a routine of going back to my hometown like many other TLU students. After our Composition class on Friday, I returned back to my room so that i could start packing my belongings to take home. I usually take my school work and my dirty clothes for laundry. I arrived back home in San Antonio on Friday night. The weekend was just like any other regular weekend. On Saturday afternoon, I received a phone call from a number that i was not familiar with. The area code was 830, and at that moment i remembered that it was someone from the Seguin area. So thinking that i must have been in trouble for something at school, I nervously answered the phone. The man explained that he was from TLU, and that the hall of my dorm had been flooded. He also mentioned that some of the things in my room were damaged by water. After ending the conversation, I was upset and couldn't wait to get back to my room. When i returned to my room, I was relieved to see that none of my personal belongings were seriously damaged. I later found out that the cause of the flood was that my neighbor had a clothes hanger hanging from the sprinkler in the room and accidentaly pulled the hanger.
