Housing, other stuff

7135. That’s all I wanted to hear. Or 7295 — that was Max’s number.

This was the Conquest housing lottery. Conquest owns a bunch of apartments around USC, and they’re pretty nice. I really got screwed by the USC housing process, so I’ve been looking elsewhere. Out of over 300 people to enter the lottery yesterday, only about 40 didn’t get anything. I would be one of those. Max is another. How unlucky can I get?

Oh well. We’re investigating other options.

After thinking about it a lot (and talking to my mom about it :), I’m not sure if a music minor is really for me. Despite an excellent faculty, the department has given me nothing but trouble. Maybe a neuroscience minor… That would be sooo cool. But I’d have to take biology, ick.

I studied quite a bit for physics last week. It payed off; I got a 68 on my midterm. I know that sounds bad, but the average grade was 63. Scoring above the average in a class full of geniuses like that one is a big accomplishment for me. With the curve, that grade will probably be in the mid-A range.
