So today -- when I wasn't watching SPN -- a dormmate of mine, Phyllis, grabbed me and we went to explore Forbes Ave and go to the library. (Phyllis is cool. We met at the Children's Hospital, and then hung out antisocially yesterday during the orientation thing and had a BLAST.) We headed out of the dorm and as we came up on the bus stop, there was Doc and two other freshmen dramaturgs (which means now I've met all but one of the freshman class. We are SMALL BUT MIGHTY).

Who, in the course of the conversation, mentioned that Doctor Who is really dramaturgical lately. The other two dramaturgs and Phyllis gave him blank looks.

"Is it really?" I said. "I know they had Shakespeare on one of the episodes recently."

"Yeah!" Doc said. "You know Doctor Who? Geek power!"

I am seriously so excited for classes with him. I should find out if he's read Tam Lin.

The library wants proof of a local address before they'll give me a card. I wonder if a piece of mail would suffice? I'll give it a shot.

ETA: Okay, successfully got a library card. Yay!

But as I left the library, it was POURING rain, and I hadn't brought my umbrella because it was only gray when I left, so I arrived back here a drowned rat. And now all my clothes are in the dryer and I'm lounging (for a given value of lounge) in my PJs.

But WTF, Pittsburgh? I was expecting heat in the summer and fall, I was expecting humidity, I was expecting snow and cold in a few months. I was definitely not expecting three straight days of rain, with no sign of a let-up. So WTF.

It does explain why they gave us umbrellas in our orientation packets. (They are SWEET umbrellas, I gotta say, and it means you can spot a CMU student from a mile off.)

Eeeeeee geek prof! That was one of the good things about University--the profs are really, really into their subject and you can dork out with them, personality prohibiting.

Also if they're anything like the library I work for, a piece of mail and student ID should be fine, as if you're having mail sent to you it means you have some kind of investment in that property--renting or owning. They might want something with your AK address too though, as students sometimes tend to disappear to places unknown with books and/or fines.

So if I bring in mail AND the University e-mail with my box assignment AND my AK driver's license AND my student ID, I ought to be covered?

CPL? Yeah, I'm pretty sure all I had to do was show them a piece of mail to prove I had a local address.

And your prof sounds awesome. :D

Yay for geeky professors!

Huzzah! That's awesome.

And the list of stuff you cited to kcountess above will be fine, I think. It would have been at the small wee library I used to work at, a long time ago, anyway.
