Giant Spider Episode 2
So I know last night I swore I wouldn't go into that bathrom again....but in light of day you know..I thought I'd just take a peek and see if it was still there......Well, it was not there anymore. So this was 1. Good, because I supposed that it left and crawled back into some hole outside or something, and 2, bad because yeah, it was alive.

But I looked carefully around and didn;t see it so I was like well, I'll glance in the shower real carefully and see if it's clear....since really I don't like walking around in my towel all over the place....but! Just as I was about to call it clear, *holds hand over pounding heart* I looked over at the door and I saw it drop down from where it had been behind the door and start running TOWARDS ME. Now I have no doubts this a young cane spider, also known as a Huntsmen spider. I have never seen one before in real life, but seeing as it was a little bigger than a large tarantula and hade very long spidery legs and moved really fast I know that's what it was. Of course adult cane spiders can get 5 or even 7 inches so I've heard so I know it wasn't an adult but still bigger than any arachnid has the right to be. In anycase I was saying "Holy God!" and prancing on my feet, praying to every deity known to man that it wasn't going to run right up to me and jump on me or something. Thank God it didn't and ran up the wall behind the side of the shower curtain. I ran out the other side as fast I could and back into my room and I'm shaking all over.

(I wrote a note warning the other girls in the dorm and got up teh courage to post it outside bathroom door, cause really, it would seriously suck to pull back the shower curtain and have a cane spider jump on you D:)
