There is one inch of brand new snow on the ground. I drove to work in white-out conditions. Yay, spring in Utah.

Beware, people to the east, this storm is very cold and very wet.

When my mother was in college, they had room inspections for cleanliness and ocassionally white glove inspections where the literally ran a gloved hand over surfaces to see if they had been dusted.

Huh. Was your mom a student at West Point?

Huh. The accident happened over the weekend. The police say it was a guy on a motorcycle - his head hit the building. Apparently he was hurt, but we don't know how bad.

Nope, a state university.

We had the two bedrooms connected by a bathroom set up in my college dorm, with the phone in one of the bedrooms. I got along really well with my Freshman roommate, but she failed out so I was randomly assigned a freshman roommate for my sophomore year (one of the freshman girls decided not to come at pretty much the last minute and there was reshuffling). We got along well enough to keep rooming together for the rest of my remaining 3 years. My senior year Sally and I suited with Mikey and Dave and put all 4 beds in one room and had the other as a "party room" which worked out pretty well, though we were all defensively explaining that none of us were sleeping with any others of us, just in the same room.

I'm not in touch with either official roommate, now. Think of them fondly, though!

Your freshman year roommate was Rapunzel?

Even worse, she wanted to be Farrah, and her hair didn't.

I was in a dorm my freshman year, and it was previously a hotel, so the suites/rooms were pretty big.

This was what my dorm was like, except it was in Boston (Kenmore Square). I lived there for four years and only shared a room the first one (shared bathrooms the other three, but fresman year was also the year of the floor communal bathroom so it was still an improvement).

Nothing like a freeway closing on my morning commute to make my Monday especially Monday-ish...
