Really, it is. There was a huge fiasco about where 16 of us will be living next year and, as of now, we have nowhere. What happened was this; ResLife told 30 groups of 2 people that they would be living in one set of apartments. We are to come to a meeting at 5pm on Monday to pick out where we will be living (which specific apartment). The process goes by each group’s combined lottery number, low to high (lottery numbers are assigned based on GPA/number of units completed/whatever else the school wants to use). We get in there, sit down and one of the residence hall directors explains all of this and, as we’re all sitting there, staring up at the diagram of the building, we start to realize that it’s short a few apartments. Just before we begin, I raise my hand and ask about that. The RD says “Oh.” They had no idea until right then that there was a problem. They give out the first 22 apartments while the director of ResLife goes over and physically counts the number of apartments they have to give out. We wait, rather distraught, and they finally tell us that they screwed up and we get “first priority in the suite lottery,” which means we’ll be living in the dorms. SO NOT COOL. Particularly living in the dorms means not having to eat in the cafeteria and we all thought that we would be off board. So there are 6 of us trying to live in an annex (lovingly called the screw up annex, for when ResLife makes mistakes) and I have a meeting with the director of ResLife at 3pm today to try and figure out what’s going on. CRAZINESS!
In addition to all that, I was supposed to register at 7:45 this morning, but somehow I managed to slept through BOTH my alarms. Yes, two of them going off at obnoxiously loud volumes. I turned them off in my sleep and only woke up about 20 minutes ago. I, luckily, got all the classes I wanted, but it never ceases to amaze me how soundly I can sleep if my body thinks I need it. I have answered my phone and had 10 minute long conversations IN MY SLEEP. I’m special.
In knitting knews (haha, I’m funny), I cast on for this two nights ago. I woke up yesterday morning to an inch of snow and it kept coming. I blame myself entirely for thinking warm thoughts and taking warm weather actions, like knitting a tank top, I am sorry for all the snow, folks. I am using Bercco cotton/modal in a really light blue color and I LOVE it. The pattern is super easy and I think it will look cute on me. I am already through 1 skein (they’re small, less than 100 yards) and I feel like it’s just going to be easy like this from here on out. I can’t wait too wear it!
Time to get back to my reading
It’s Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, for english class, but it’s excellent!
