College Bound

Off to Stony Brook , August 28, 2009. 3 large bins, 1 half bin, 1 cube fridge, 1 small amp, printer, lamp, french note board, comforter, mattress pad. No hangers whatsoever. We had removed the larger half of the 60/40 middle seat for more space.

 

 

Plus one big bass, an electric guitar, a few small bags, one large blue bag (food overflow and cast iron frying pan) and still no hangers. There were still some nooks and crannys which could have been utilized, but we didn't know we needed to. And now it was raining.

 

 

Tabler Quad , Hand College. All the other buildings in this quad had the names on them but Hand. The room was on the top floor, but the elevators were working and it was only 3 floors up. The main entrance is in the left of the picture near the big blue umbrella. It was sprinkling while we were waiting for the Younger to register, but it held off while we actually moved her things in.

 

Roadies made the job easier.

 

The top bunk came with the benefit of a whole desk and armoire, but no dresser. Will the sheets get changed? It was a challenge to put them on.

 

The desk was under one of the other roommate's bunk.

 

The Younger sorting out her belongings.

 

The suite consisted of 3 bedrooms(2 triples and one single), this dining area, kitchen area and bathroom with turlit stall, 2 sinks and a large shower stall. The bass is here temporarily.

 

Kitchen area. We were surprised that only 2 people brought fridges.

 

After we moved her in, we went out for food. We heard that the supplied food consisted of a sandwich in a red bag so we went to the soup place, Soup's On near the train station. It was still there and it was still excellent. We had run across the place during one of our prior visits. Afterwards we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to buy hangers which someone didn't pack because they couldn't find room.

When we got home, the dog acted very strange, she kept going to the truck like we had forgotten something there. Even in the house she was crying and looking upset.

Traffic was light both ways and only took about 1.5 hours each way.
