Welcome back to another year of fun at Cabrini!

• As some of you may know, I was one of the 60 people to receive a letter from resident life telling me the Marquis is not available for Cabrini students. However, resident life said they are doing all they can to find me a place to live. Well, that is just great. I went from living in house six to living nowhere at all.

For you first-year students, house six last year was Cabrini College's· answer to Pee Wee's playhouse. I mean, it was a disaster area.

My neighbor and present roomate had close to $1,000 in damages to his room, and that is just one room out of 12. Germany didn't have that amount of damage after the war.

I went into house six when I got back to the college, expecting it to be cleaner, but with no drastic changes done to it. My head almost exploded when I walked in. New carpets, new paint on the walls, new everything. The only thing they forgot is the chandelier in the foyer.

I am glad they waited until the

summer to do all the fix-up work, while I lived in an almost condemned house for the previous nine months.

I am also glad I paid fine after fine and the college bas nowhere for me to live.

My house six neighbor called

me up over the summer and asked me if I was interested in getting an apartment. So I weighed my options of living in the apartment or not living anywhere, and took the apartment. So now I am adjusting to commuter life. On the first day of classes, I noticed that the college was in great shape. It looked beautiful and I thought, "Maybe Cabrini has changed." I drove up to the commuter lot to

I got out of class and tried to pickup my new student I.D. card, but they don't give commuters new I.D. 's. I can tell this was going to be a great day. I went to my car and found the dreaded yellow ticket on my windshield. That is when it really kicked in. I knew I was back at Cabrini. I was really upset to find out the parking tickets went up $10. Like I have an extra $10 to give to public safety. Where were they last year when house six was falling apart at the seams-writing tickets? So I left for my furnitureless apartment thinking about bow public safety seems to have a contract out on me and the fragileness of life and bow I'm going to pay my parking ticket when all of a sudden this cat runs into my car. The sick truth is I immediately thought public safety would arrest me for murder if they found out.
