Quick Post on the Digs

Ok, a number of you have asked about the housing situation. Really they are very nice dorms, and had I chose to go to Queens for grad school I would have stayed in them. However, I'm fairly certain that the only person I know who could really use that shower is maybe Penny. Take a cruise ship shower and cut it in half. Aside from that the bathroom and bedroom are a fair size. But the bed is one step up from the army cot. It's a plastic mattress (this allows them to Clorox them in between students, who needs a new mattress?) and mine lists to the one side.

There is a communal kitchen but it doesn't have any utensils or pots and pans. Normally students would chip in for some, but since Im here with a bunch of 18 yr olds, and we're only here for 3 weeks its highly unlikely that we will buy pans. I stole a fork from breakfast today and I'm keeping it! Well, at least until my 3 weeks is up.

I have some pictures of the place, be sure to note the ones with blue sky. We see blue sky once a day but the weather is highly unpredictable. It also stays light until 1030 or 11 so my body is really confused.

There are some shots of the University in here as well. So enjoy!
