An update from lands beyond
In the swank new computer lab on the first floor of GC. It's odd to see the guy(s) who were at the second floor of GC now in this place. Moving on up and down at the same time. Progress goes that way sometimes...
So, yeah, David Shaw, FIU Sophomore was pretty stoked today to be in Everglades Hall. I went to the office to check in, and then I found out that my name wasn't on the list. I went to the Housing Office. It seems that I had to finish up some Financial Aid business in order to move the rooming process along. I got my room assignemnt sheet and then I go back to the EH lounge again.
I get my room assignment from a lady who seems nice and is going to be my RA. Cool! I move along to the next table to fill out my RIFF. Then, the lady there shows a look of confusion on her face. I notice this, and pay it no mind. She shuffles through a rolodex and looks at my card.
"Apparently, you're supposed to be going to Panther Hall instead." (PH = Panther Hall, EH = Everglades Hall).
Housing Office again. They say that I marked myself as a 'Freshman' on my housing application(maybe because in Spring 2005 I was), and they ran out of rooms at Everglades Hall, so they decided to put me in Panther Hall. I've got to stay there two weeks until I can fill a transfer request to go somewhere else, most likely UPA if I can't live in Everglades.
Some posters and stuff in here would be cool. There's a multicolored striped whatever body pillow on my bed, and a jungle themed rug on the floor. I wanted some type of "vintage?" jungle/forest-y design. I was planning on having pictures of the everglades mixed with some modern-age-esque designs on the wall. If I felt like I uglified the room, it would be cool. It's competing space with my roomate's whatever things.
Maybe it's a type of progress?
