B's water storage device

Tomorrow is the deadline, and this afternoon I'm having my virgin try at B's comb binding machine. It's amazing how you can do this yourself at home without having to rush your papers to the print shop at ULU. Now that the hard copies are sealed inside the brown paper envelopes as they should be, I hope the content will be OK. B's deadline is tomorrow as well. The poor guy has been under a lot of stress... these past few weeks we've been hearing sporadic shouts coming from his room: there are the usual low-base noises, and the other day I also caught this high-pitched squeaky sound. Locked up in his room all the time, maybe B is undergoing so much pressure that he has transformed into a mouse, like the guy who changed into a giant insect in Kafka's The Metamorphosis. But thank god he hasn't. Just a while ago the architecture student came into my room to show off the water storage device he designed. That delicate thing costs a glorious 150 pounds--I'm glad that I only have to pay for A4 paper.
