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.

hey!! that looks like a cool dorm!!! Do you know who your roommate is yet? or do you have a single!! We need to get together! I have thursday and friday off this week...so if u are free any time those two days it would be cool...I also work either nights or mornings the other days if you would prefer that!!

They won't tell us roommates till we get there -- I suspect I have a double but not sure. I was working full-time last week, and I'm off to vacation for a week now, unfortunately. :/ If you're still around next week we should definitely get together!

Wow, that's a crazy-looking dorm. Neat, but crazy!
