Sometimes, moving fragile Lego castles across one’s living room can be detrimental to the physical well-being of said castle.
The damage report? A good chunk of the topmost portion of the really tall tower came down. So did the owlry. Nothing irreperable, thankfully. Those repairs, however, are going to have be a project for post-finals.

At least you can rebuild yours. When I moved back to college for my junior year (five years ago), my parents, thinking they were doing me a favor by adding it at the last minute, just tossed my model of the Enterprise-E into the back of their car, on top of a bunch of other stuff. I found it lying on the floor of the car with a completely snapped starboard nacelle pylon, right at the base where it meets the secondary hull. Completely irreparable. I’ve tried superglue, mounting rods… nothing.
