My Room

I moved into my room at Swarthmore on August 24th.  I am living in a spacious single in Dana (campus map).  The vast majority of my stuff is now organized in my room (after being unpacked from my luggage, in storage across campus, shipped, etc.)  Even with all of my clothes, books, boxes, luggage, electronics, and other junk, I have plenty of room.  Pictures:

I think it’s a great idea.  SEPTA would get increased ridership, and it would be more convenient to get to Chesco from Swat.  And most importantly, R3 service to Wawa would be restored!

Ewok Village

Next year, I will be living in Dana. The dorm has a great location, close to classes and directly adjacent to the Crum Woods. Click here for an aerial view.  The large number of trees makes my sister Quinn think it’s an Ewok village.

I don’t see how that’s a bad thing. I’m quite the fan of Ewoks…
