Mosquito Invasion

My apartment has been invaded by mosquitos. It is insanity. They attack me in my sleep, and now I have what's technically known as mosquito paranoia. Just kidding, I made that up, but it's still true. Last week, I had one fly into my nose at night! Into my nose! They come in all buzzing in my face waking me up, and it's crazy. I had the maintenance man come this morning to fix my screen, because last night I personally killed 9 of them (there were others that evaded my grasp). 

When he came in he told me there was no problem with the screen, and as long as I kept the screen on I would be fine. I found this rather confusing, since I have yet to mess with the screens. Apparently, only one side of the window is covered by a screen. I mean seriously, how was I to know? I know I know, you'd think I could see it. But I couldn't. I swear. The side of the window that was unprotected and allowed all of these evil bloodsucking killers into my apartment was behind my washer, so I could not tell that the screen didn't exist. Maybe I'm a little thick. Anyways, even with the language barrier, I could tell he was laughing at me this morning. 

Jerk.

Well. at least now I know how to fix my mosquito problem. I have this mosquito repellant strategically placed in my apartment, and now I only leave the side of the window open with the screen on it. That'll teach 'em. And hopefully now I won't wake up with giant welts all over my face!
