Longhouse Mates

Accomplishment of the month: the term "longhouse" did catch on for our building! Go me! or rather go Mom, since it was her stories that inspired it.

But in case you want to put faces with some names, here's a picture of all of us "longhouse mates". *note for the vanity of all involved: it was 10 pm, pouring rain after a ridiculously hot and sticky day- so none of us are looking our best in this picture.

Back Row: Marianne, Promise, Michelle.

Front Row: Susie, bob, Rachel.

Marianne (top left) and I are roommates, Susie and Rachel (on either side of me) are roommates, and Promise and Michelle (top middle and top right) are roommates. We're all first semester except Rachel, who has been here a whole year already and is oh so kind to impart her vast knowledge of what in the world all those silly acronyms mean to us newbies.
