a visit

I got accepted at Columbia. Huzzah! In fact, there was an open house there today that I visited. It was overrun with scenesters, indie kids, and the like. What a refreshing change. At MSOE, I facebooked "Bright Eyes" under bands and got six hits. Six hits, for Christ's sake. Two or three for Elliott Smith, zero for the Decemberists, and zero for Neutral Milk Hotel. This was out of a student body of 2500. Definitely not my sort of place.

Anyways, the visit was quite the time - their photo lab(s) are huge. And state of the art. And awesome. I was not really planning on living in the student dorms, they're a bit too expensive for my taste. So, I was planning on sharing an apartment with a couple of guys from CLS. How fun.
