Update

I've moved into the dorm....everything is ok...Unfortunately, I'm at a public library doing this. So, I have a computer I'm borrowing and when I get the phone hooked up in the dorm, I'll update and tell you guys about the first days.

Nothing going on...

My mom is nice enough to help me with the driving from Southern Cali to San Francisco. On top of that she says she's going to give me a microwave and some cleaning supplies for the dorm.

I won't be back to update until after the move (Saturday, September 17th) or after orientation on Monday, September 19th. Unless I have something to update on the school situation or some boring quiz you care nothing about...see you soon.

Finally, some information

Around 4:30pm in a Hempstar induced nap, I got a call from the HD rep I've been trying to get a hold of all week. I can't move into the dorm until the 15th of this month. And I'll be staying in Sonoma Hall. Anyone got any info on this dorm, let me know. I have a feeling that I'm going to want to move out as soon as possible.

It's a good thing I'm going to Northern California for school. With the no-smoking rules in the dorm and not having my own room, I'm going to have to take full-advantage of the smoking rooms at the dispensaries in the north. Southern Cali is strict as hell. I think S.C. is more conservative in general than we like to let on.

I have no patience...

I called the housing department every fifteen minutes starting at 9am this morning because I remember hearing on someone's answering machines that they're in the office from 9am to 6pm. But that might not have been this specific person I'm looking for.

I got caught up in the internet and by 10am, I forgot to keep up my diligence. I didn't get a call from the HD like I expected. The paperwork lady (I forgot her official title) called to let me know that everything was submitted okay. But she's just now getting back to me when I called her a week ago.

She transferred me to the person in the HD that I've been trying to get in touch with. I'm not into staying at the hostel, so she's get two other possibilities for me. But I still don't know because I'll get a call "by the end of the day to confirm."

I now know that that is just a way to get you to not bother them all day and they have the possibility to return your call till the next day if they've slipped out of the office by the time you've called back.

I'm still around...

I called the housing department on Tuesday and was told that confirmations will be done on Friday. I went to IKEA late Friday afternoon and realized too late that I did get that phone call and it was too late to reach anyone in the office. On top of that, it's a holday weekend so no one is going to be around until Tuesday, September 6th.

School starts in two weeks. They seem to be slacking on this.
