Ahh, I'm all settled in at my dorm, still in ultra-giddy mode after seeing RENT with my mom this afternoon (Will Chase was absolutely amazing, Matt Caplan was a lot less annoying than when I saw RENT in October, and Kenna Ramsey's sassy diva neck-roll at the beginning of Tango Maureen is still cracking me up).
Heh at all of this talk about showers. At home, I'm always the one who uses up all of the hot water, much to the dismay of whoever gets stuck taking a shower right after me. At my dorm, there's more than enough hot water to go around, but the water pressure is so pathetically bad I might as well be in a birdbath (same thing pretty much any time I've ever gone on vacation - after a few days, I'm practically looking forward to going home to my nice water-blasting shower). I think that when I get an apartment of my own, I'll insist on taking a shower there before I sign anything just to make sure I can get enough heat and water pressure - it's that important to me.
"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time."
