Spring Break Shenanigans

The way our schedule worked out, the class was on a trip to Dublin right before spring break started, so the majority of my classmates left from there on various trips around Europe. I planned on enjoying the cottage to myself and not having to go anywhere or do anything. Since I'd be going home to the cottages, I organized getting everyone's luggage from the trip back into the rightful cottages, and in the process I ended up with keys to three other cottages. So, of course, I had to do something.

I rounded up Joy and Elise, the only other students on campus at the time, and we set off for some pranking. First came cottage 5 with its crowning achievement of the volleyball bra. We put a sports bra around a volleyball, used clementines for boobs, and set it atop the lampshade to watch over the living room.

Volleyball bra!

Doesn't look like much, but all of her clothes are tucked into 

Cottage 4 was already a mess when we walked in, so we had two options: clean it or try to contain the mess to one area. And we sure as hell weren't cleaning! So we piled every piece of furniture in the living room in front of the door. We made sure to leave enough room for the door to open, but the boys are going to do a bit of climbing when they get home.

We concentrated on the kitchen and living room of cottage 8 and just switched the placement of things around, including hiding things in the oven, microwave, and washing machine.

Switched the drawers

Squash and potatoes in the washer

Bakeware in the oven (which they didn't find until the next day)

Food in the microwave

Our professor and his wife were gone, too, so we couldn't just leave them out. We decided to go very subtle with something they'll only find when they go to eat: tin foil all their silverware. We wrapped each knife, fork, and spoon individually in a sheet of tin foil and put them nicely back in the drawer.

Shiny!
