I think we are about ready to begin the year. Eric— whom I don't believe I have mentioned will be my roommate this year— and I moved in to the dorm on Friday. I arrived first because I woke up uncharacteristically early around 5:30. I had spent Thursday shoehorning everything into my car, allowing me to leave the house around 7 after a round of goodbyes with my parents. When I got to Purdue, Eric was still a few hours away, so I moved everything out of the car and into my closet. I couldn't start setting up the room right away because Eric had the carpet. I had time to get my parking permit and take a nap before Eric's family showed up. The theme of the day was "it fits perfectly!" The carpet was the exact width of the room; the TV, stereo and my computer fit perfectly between the desks; and the couch had inches to spare on either side. We ended up laying out the room similarly to how Michael and I had it last year. Eric and I have already had comments on how nice and open it is.
