Blah!

Sigh. I again seem to have had a communication problem with the person who cut my hair. I don't think my three inches is equivalent to everyone else's three inches. Or possibly they don't realize that my hair is really quite curly and thus is about two inches longer when it's wet than when it's dry. This is even shorter than that debacle in November, which, coincidentally, was the last time I had my hair cut. It accentuates everything I hate about my face and neck, thus making me look like Professor Umbridge as a teenager. (Yes, and it takes away the years added by the new glasses frames, so I'm back to looking twelve. Grrr, I look like a freaking baby doll.)

Gah! Note to self: improve communication with hair-cutters. Or alternately, learn to cut hair.

Amusing quote from Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi:

"Whoo-oop! I'm the old original iron-jawed, brass-mounted, copper-bellied corpse-maker from the wilds of Arkansaw!--Look at me! I'm the man they call Sudden Death and General Desolation! Sired by a hurricane; dam'd by an earthquake, half-brother to the cholera; nearly related to the small-pox on the mother's side! Look at me!"

I think Sudden Death and General Desolation would be an excellent name for a band.

I've made a note of it. (No, really -- I have.) Thanks for the advice. I'm on Gund now, which I'm pretty happy about because of the dividers(!!!), but I don't know where the Gund geeks are. :)

You're welcome. rowdycamels was in Gund for our freshman year. I was in Lewis, but what little I saw of Gund seemed nice. Be sure to bring a fan! Even if your roommate is bringing a fan, bring another one. And you might use it during the winter, too--the heaters are, uh, overeager, and you can't control the temperature at all. I think I spent all of February and March with my window open in freshman year.

Yay Gund! Yay dividers! (especially when you have a roommate you [ahem] never talked to...) And get the bed by the window. Yes, fans are crucial. As are personal computers - school lab computers are crowded, irritable, and sticky (and little hives of germs during flu season). But yeah. If you want to meet the nerds, go to the tv lounges and watch a nerdy show. If you watch it, they will come. (I met many many friends that way : D) And go see Kate and Sarah in Mather 410. Tell them Ellen and Becca sent you. They'll love you. But don't ever eat Sarah's "cooking." You might die.
