LathrUpdate #2

Greetings from Lathrop!

Here's the deal. Of the twenty minute video Tess, Alanna, Sam, and I recorded to post here when they were visiting me, Tess' computer recorded a WHOPPING 7 seconds. Then, when we recorded a 6-minute apology video, Tess' computer recorded 1 second. We then recorded a heated explanation on Joe's wall, but that one failed too. Once we'd executed Tess and her computer pulled a Cornelius out the window, we decided to give up on that.

Still wanted to update Just Jossin, though, which was the basis for the video idea anyway. Seriously, no one updated through ANY OF JULY! Lame.

Life in Lathrop's been alright. It's very hot here most of the time, and the trek to the fourth floor is not my favorite (congrats on your location next year, Tess and Matt). But there have been fun people here for most of the summer. Although the Ford and URSI programs have ended, so campus has pretty much emptied out. That's your cue to come visit, by the way. Tours have been awesome and plentiful though, so I'm kept pretty busy during the day. Of course that's also because I've been watching so, so much Friends, The Sopranos, Weeds, My So-Called Life, Big Bang Theory, October Road, Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, The Office, 30 Rock, etc.

I hope everyone's summers are going swimmingly. Post about them!


Miss you all,
Jake

LathrUpdate #1

Finally moved in and settled down on the fourth floor of Lathrop. Moving was a nightmare, basically. Luckily, when we moved Mario's stuff (he's storing stuff for half the campus, I think) the elevator was finally available for use. Except, of course, for when we needed to move the GINORMOUS couch he, Eli, and I grabbed from the TH SWAPR and brought over to Lathrop. Which was also somewhat of a terrible, terrible ordeal. Eli took pictures instead of helping, so I'm sure you'll all see them soon.

In other news, my job is pretty much a joke. I have almost nothing to do. Really. No one comes into or sends anything to admissions until July, apparently. I started watching Weeds on Wednesday and I'm now on the fourth season. Almost all watched at work. Yeah, $8/hour for watching TV. Be jealous. But that does mean that people should come and visit! I have lots and lots of room!

In Joss news, the building has been fenced off and they've started work on the whole asbestos thing, but only on the west side of Joss. And yes, I got pictures because 1) I'm Jake Mars and 2) I wanted to scoop MadsVassar--suck it, Mads!...Anyway, here are the pics:




Love you all and I hope to see you soon,
Jake.


P.S. GO SEE UP! It's fantastic.
