Man, your post made me feel nervous FOR YOU. I can't imagine living in a dorm. I think I'd rather die than share my living space with strangers. But I think maybe it's just me. I mean, I'm a bit strange like that, and not very trusting. Plus I prefer to cook for myself whenever possible. It would drive me nuts if I didn't have a stove and pots and pans whenever I wanted them. Like when I might randomly decide fried potatoes sound really good. D=

And yeah, I've never figured out how people really meet other people in college. I guess saying "hello" in the halls is the best way to start. Smiling at people a little, et cetera. But still...

Good luck. I hope you and your roomie get along really well during the year, and I hope you meet some really great people in your classes. ^_^ *HUGS*
