Since I hadn't received a residence, I figured I was living at home for the first semester, and commuting 20 minutes to classes each day.<br /><br />I didn't receive my dorm assignment until yesterday at 4:00 PM.<br /><br />Move-in for new and transfer students is tomorrow.<br /><br />Excuse me, but I have a shitload of things to pack now...
