Dorm Room Steez
My dorm room is asymptotically approaching perfection. Two weeks ago, I won a Google lava lamp when they came to school to give a tech talk. It actually has the Google logo on the base! And today, my aunt brought me a real ‘One Way’ road sign that she said she got at a yard sale. At least it was stolen originally! Due to the difficulty of hanging heavy things in dorm rooms without damaging the walls, I had to put it somewhere where it can lean against the wall. The arrow currently points out the window. It’s classy.
These two recent additions join a room whose walls are covered with Weezer, Phish, DMB, Harry Potter, U2, and Paul Simon posters. There’s a poster dating back to the Nintendo 64 days of Mario in a bunny suit holding a silicon wafer (IBM designed the 64 chips, codenamed Gekko, and they were manufactured in Burlington). An upside-down C-3PO mask watches over the corner of my room, and there is a really colorful Peanuts mural that I made by cutting up an old calendar. The best part, of course, is the view I have of the river and the Rochester skyline from my sixth floor window.
I’ll try to post some pictures of my room when I get a chance. Everyone who comes in loves the way it is set up and decorated. I can’t say that I disagree
