Who, me, impatient?

I find out which dorm I'm in after 5 pm today. I really, really want to know right now. I didn't care till people started asking me, and now I can't stop thinking about it. :P

Do you think maybe if I keep reloading the Housing Lottery page the housing gods will take pity on me and just tell me already? Maybe? *hits F5 again*

The envelope, please...

Finally got on to the MIT housing site -- the whole "we'll tell you on this site at 5pm" was all a terrible horrible lie, it was more like 8 before I got through, but that's okay.

I'm in the waffle dorm, the sponge dorm, the crazy architects but lots and lots of pretty windows hurrah dorm, Simmons. (For those of you who haven't seen it before -- yes, those are ALL windows. I like windows, okay?) My mother was happy. I told her one of my other top choices was Burton Conner, and (recalling her days with my dad) she said "isn't that grungy and dirty and old?" Or something along those lines. I didn't think it was all *that* bad when I stayed there, but on the other hand I'm pretty enamored of Simmons' shinynewness. Then she said, "which is the one where all the stoners hang out?" "Uh, probably East Campus. My other choice." Which is probably not actually true, on further thought, but that's okay, because it's distracting her from, um, compare-and-contrasting the prices of a double in either place. *winces* But I am curious why East is so dramatically different in terms of double rates. Kinda strange.

So that's where I'm off to, come the last weekend in August. Yay! It's really nice to finally know.
