Five and I arrived in New Haven last night and--with the help of Momo, brother Z and a an honest-to-goodness saint (THANK YOU MR. M!!!)--were able to move into our dorm rooms. Which we kind of love.
Here are the deets:
We are in the same residential college (a happy coincidence as you're supposed to be assigned randomly). Our rooms are in the same entryway (perhaps not such a coincidence), on the same floor (is anyone else getting the feeling this was planned?), next door to each other (aha! I knew it was too good to be true! I kid, I kid :)! Plus, we have a door that, when opened, makes our two separate, but lonely, rooms into one giant party! (It's actually more of an emergency exit than a door, but what the hey! We like it :).
Anyway, we have lots of things to do today. We're on the market for luxury items like trash receptacles, shampoo, and an iron. But, what I really want to get are some plants! Each room has a big block of windows and I want to fill them up with green things! So, I guess the real question is this: what types of plants are the most difficult to kill?

Peace plants. You can't over-water them; they tolerate under-watering; if you're nice to them, they will regularly put out beautiful white flowers, and they multiply, so you can get more plants for free. Plus, they're a good metaphor for how you should be with your loud hallmates, in case you ever feel provoked.
ReplyDeleteGah!! So excited!! Pictures please!!
ReplyDeletePlastic ones. You don't even have to remember to water them!
