okay, so i got a roommate! she's 24, korean, lived in dorms for the last 4 years, going to different colleges, etc. she's an illustration major at sva. she'll sign the roommate agreement with me on nov 10 (because i'm away, and she is too until then, etc.). she seems pretty laid back, kinda nerdy (which is always a good aspect in a roommate!) and homey. YAY!
