But not being able to just walk out of your room and do what you want is the bit that's kind of getting to me

I brought an external hard drive with about 300 movies but the tv in my room had the USB feature disabled, but what surprised me was my willpower not to drink any of the four bottles of Australian red wine I brought with me.
