Somehow I'm not at all surprised that everybody in the laundry room has a laptop on them.
Does anyone remember my giant Wi-Fi antenna? I think it's now safe to say that I no longer need it; there are Wi-Fi access points located every fifty meters or so. The only place I've been so far where I haven't been able to get a Wi-Fi signal is the parking lot - residence halls, dining commons, laundry room, everything has Wi-Fi. It's a welcome change from having to use an antenna just to get a signal in some classrooms.
I wouldn't think that a big part of life in a residence hall involves Nerf guns, but so far I've seen quite a few Nerf dogfights in the halls. I'd get one myself, but then I'd be spending money on toys, so I'll pass for now. In the meantime I've been chucking empty Mountain Dew cans at people who attack me instead.
On a similar note, I'm trying to get the people living on my floor to contribute their empty Mountain Dew cans. If I can get 400 cans by Christmas time, I'll build our floor a Mountain Dewmas Tree and put it in the common area.
