The anticipation waiting for the mail to arrive every morning is almost too much to bear. You've taken to attempting to sleep in until the mailman gets to your house around 11am, just so you'll be able to see right away whether or not that wonderful letter has made its way to your mailbox.
You've even started having dreams about getting your letter. Last night you dreamt that you finally got your assignment. The only problem is that it came written in cuneiform and on huge stone tablets which were too big to lift by yourself. You couldn't even read the first page. Very frustrating.
But when you wake up, you realize your mom has left a letter on your nightstand. A letter with a Sid Richardson College return address label. And instantly you know. You're a Sidizen. Not that you knew that term until you just opened the letter and read about it. Before this moment, the only time you've ever heard about Sid Rich was when your Lovett Owl Days host's friends tried to convince you that Sid is Lovett's colony.
But now you're set right. Now you know that Sid Rich is undeniably the biggest, baddest, BEST college. Just as surely as you know Brown is undeniably the worst, or that Martel isn't even a college to begin with (you'd been holding off on that judgment until this moment, just in case you ended up placed there. But now you're sure Martel is not a college).
You've been claimed by a taller and superior college, so now you can sit back and enjoy a restful summer before O-Week. That is, until roommate assignments are mailed out. At which point, you will probably revert to harassing the mailman and dreaming about cuneiform. But that's okay. It's all worth it. You Go To Rice.
