I live in Tucson, Arizona. I go to college in Marlboro, Vermont. In 20 days, I'll be boarding a train in Tucson that will let me arrive (through a few connections), 3 days later (August 28th) in Albany. My aunt has been kind enough to offer to pick me up in Albany, then drive me to school the next day. Now, move in day is officially September 2nd. I just got a reply from Ken saying (and sounding definitive) that I cannot move in 3 days early. Honestly, that would be fine with me, except for two things. One, I will be making a three thousand mile trip to get there, starting on a train that only leaves a few times a week. Two, my roommate, Dorkwis, will have already moved in on the 28th. This is at a college with (what I understand to be) a long history of people moving in a few days early because it makes life easier. Ken suggesting that I find some place to stay in Brat for the three days only fixes half the problem, and that's the easy part to fix. My aunt is also currently storing most of my stuff, and not letting me move in early means an extra trip for her. And staying with her isn't much of an option, either, as she's not going to be available on the 2nd. Gahh.
Update:
So, the issue seems well in hand. I'll be staying with keeperofmadness until school opens, and I'll drop my stuff off at the room on my way to his apartment.
Having friends sure is nice.
