Fear The Turtle

It's official. Come September A- will be a Maryland terrapin. The University of Maryland response form and required $200 fee were sent in today.

The icing on the cake came last night when a good friend of A-'s decided that he, too, would be going to Maryland. They've agreed to be roommates. They've shared classes, cross country, and wind ensemble; now they'll share living quarters. Time will tell whether they remain good friends. The response form contained a brief survey that is used in some weak attempt at making compatible roommate assignments. One of the questions asked was "Would other people think you were neat and tidy?" A- answered no. (Probably not a wrong answer but he's not a slob by any means.)

I hope his buddy knows this.
