masterofmidgetsSo draw numbers got released today and I drew 391 yay!
Which makes no sense to people not at Stanford, so - housing here is done on a lottery; you sign up, you get randomly assigned a number along with everyone else, and how low your number is determines which houses you can draw into - popular houses, like the co-ops on the Row, have really low cut-offs, and you can't get in unless you have a very low draw number, while less popular housing, like FloMo, has higher cut-offs and people who want to live there have a pretty good shot of getting in even with high draw numbers.
391 is low. 391 is apparently very low. I might not be able to get into a Row house or something, but pretty much I can live anywhere I want next year, which is awesome. I'm going back and forth right now between Okada - Asian theme dorm, which could be fun and might give me a chance to work on my language skills with Japanese speakers (plus my Chinese skills, if/when I take Chinese again) - and Laguanita, which has the benefit of a) being a really pretty building, b) having pretty good food, and c) giving me a much better chance of getting a single. So yeah.
As if I needed more things to stress about! *tries not to think about the 2nd Japanese midterm of DOOM tomorrow and the presentation on TS Eliot's The Wasteland which is also tomorrow fuckfuckfuck*

Date: 2008-05-08 04:59 am (UTC)I kinda feel like I'm wasting my 390, since none of the places I want to draw into are hard to get, but meh...still jealous of whoever in Faisan got a 3 though!

Date: 2008-05-08 05:30 am (UTC)You can live on the row! Pretty much anywhere you want. DO NOT WASTE THIS INCREDIBLE NUMBER ON OKADA OR LAGUNITA (where you won't get a single anyway, since sophomores have last choice on in-house draw, which has nothing to do with your draw number). PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. IT HURTS MY SOUL. GIVE ME YOUR DELECTABLE NUMBER OR SOMETHING.
Type "Draw" into your browser. You could live in Mars! Maybe even Bob! Or Jerry! Please, don't do this to yourself.
