Meg, what are you reading? “Boy, I’m ready for a nap!” I had just got home from North Ave, compared the events of the night with my friends, and was psyched to go to bed. Looking at my clock, I grimaced, realizing I had to get up in six hours for my 9:00 class. It was already 2:30 a.m. I threw my clothes on the floor, put on a T shirt, and climbed into bed.

True, we’ve heard rumors: archaic plumbing, a maze interior. half the residents driven out by heat, the other half by cold, but of course these are only rumors. How could any dormitory complete with its own courtyard be anything but charming? Well, Brescia, it’s written. Now let’s just hope it gets typed ...
