Moved into Reed

Duuuuuude... I live at Reed now.

My room isn't divided like I thought it was going to be, but my roommate is chill and the room is fucking twice as big as a UO room. There's space I'm taking up, and space she's taking up, and there's still a little square of space in front of the fireplace to be common and undecorated. It's great.

Went to dinner with my floor, and we went around saying names three or four times so I think I pretty much know everyone already. One guy talked to me a bit, he's into cognitive science but says he's not into science in general... hmm. One girl, I actually can't remember much of what we talked about but I got a good feeling from her, like our conversation just felt like chatting with a friend.

Lost Rocket has the dorm that looks like a friggin' condo.

I think I like Commons. We'll see how I feel about the variety after eating there for a couple of months, but it seems like they have reasonably nutritive food, and it's all there in one place, so it's like a dining hall, but without the pressure to eat a lot because you pay a la carte rather than a flat, exorbitant fee.

Weird thing is I feel way more Not At Home than I did when I moved to Eugene. I could visit at least two friends in the neighborhood on any whim, I've got Lost Rocket here on campus, and anyone else I'm used to seeing is just a phone call and a bike ride away. Maybe it's just that home is school again, but it's not even really school yet.

Convocation was surprisingly good. At UO it was really boring, but there were a lot of cool speeches here.

Hey! At 9 there's a showing of No Exit (which I read in French) and something by David Ives, who wrote some hilarious plays done by MLC a while ago. Gotta go!
