HOUSING INFORMATION:

Finally, it came. Here's the scoop on next year:

I'll be living, as I expected, in Thurston Hall, the largest of freshman dorms. It's got slow elevators but I'm only on the fifth floor, so I'll stay in good shape running up and down the stairs. I'm living in a quad - four guys with a refridgerator, a microwave, and a private bathroom. Overall sounds just fine, but everything comes down to my roommates who I've not spoken to yet.

My roomates:

Jacob S Young, of New Rochelle, NY. This could be the only problem.... not because he's very likely a New York jew (yes! one person I won't have to convince of the value of bagels in our freezer....), but because he's very likely a Yankees fan. I just have to get to our room first and make sure to get my Yankees Suck sticker up before he gets there.

Kevin M Sullivan, of Galesburg, IL. Galesburg is in western Illinois, practically in Iowa. Likely a midwest farmboy.... shouldn't be any problem, except for the fact that he's probably NOT going to be used to the ethnic mix not only our school but our very room presents. He might also be a Republican, but Cubs or White Sox, we won't clash there too much.

Steven R Khadam-Hir, of Marlboro, NJ. Clearly an Arab name, so if you've been counting we have very likely a Jew, an Arab, a Catholic, and me. My mother is Jewish, my father is Arabic, and my name is Greek Orthodox. Steve is also from about mid way down the jersey shore, closer to Philadelphia than NYC. Possible Yankees fan, but if luck is on my side no such allegience.

I'd really have issues rooming with two of them *shudder*

I got email address for Jake and Steve from the GWeb email directory, but there are three Kevin Sullivan's enrolled in GWU. So I gotta call him.

But that's the story. Room 513 at Thurston. The true story of four strangers, picked to live in a dorm and find out what happens when people stop being polite, and start getting edge-oo-ma-kay-ted.
