housing lottery. shit.

EC has 56 exclusion suites available.

actually scratch that, EC has 50 exclusion suites AVAILABLE. It reminds me of a story Sasha Davidov told me one day about the inner workings of EC that has a secret niche group. It is Hillel. It is like a rite of passage, a passing of the Torah if you would. Each year, rising sophomores get pulled into an EC exclusion suite by their Jewish brothers and sisters do live in the double, for this sacrifice to their elders, it gurantees them the right to maintain the suite after the seniors leave and take the single. Due to this maintaining of same room/suite business that is going on, 6 suites are unavailable to pick into. leaving 50/56.

Our group received the lottery number today and it was panic. Our number was 2100 something. 3/31 @ 1:30 pm. Mark grepped the whole thing a few times and sorted it out and leo wrote a Perl mini program to do the exact same thing. The result?

Well. Out of 59 groups vieing for the 50 suites, we have the 50th appointment time, according to what is listed on the tentative and not final lottery release. SKETCHY. So I cannot make alternate plans that are concrete and we'll just have to pray. Zoie, Matthew Broderick, John, Bobby, let us pray. I am hoping that individuals, such as hometown hero Dan Benrubi drops out of EC and goes with his amazing number to Broadway singles. Those being much nicer anyways . We need some kind of cushion. I don't know if the EC suites that are occupied by RA's are exclusions... I hope not. If they are, more than likely we are screwed. Help us you rising seniors that have good lottery numbers and don't need to live in EC exclusions. Go somewhere beautiful, leave the slums of EC to me and my brothers and sisters. Where is the love?
