Gordon is into his dorm room

Thought I'd share these words from Susan about getting Gordon into the dorms. I've edited out some for brevity, marked by "[...]".

Just a note to let you know that we have truly appreciated all your prayers for us. Also to let you know that Gordon is finally moved into his room at 226 Wagner. He has a corner room on the second floor (a guy floor; girls are up one floor; I think the hall is 4-5 floors tall). On one side of his room, he has a maintenance-only parking lot, another dorm, and a green & beautiful view. His door opens up to the 2nd-floor hall and the stairwell. His window across from the door looks out on a tarred roof, with the door going out to the roof being on the final side of his room. This position can either be a blessing or a curse, depending on how Wagner Hall's personality turns out. :-)

One blessing is that the girl in the COW marching band that he's been in touch with is on the next floor up. She's really sweet, organized, and cute -- esp. at 4'10", I think Gordon said. Another blessing is that the guy he stayed with in February(?)/March(?) is Wagner Hall's student director or Resident Director.... JaQuan Bryant. [...] He also met JaQuan's friends and like them. And JaQuan is from Oakland, CA!) I met JaQuan today, and he is JUST as tall as Gordon! [...]

Gordon will be going 24-hours a day now, from his dorm. [This is an exaggeration, of course. Not to worry, Mom. The schedule is busy though, but more like 7:30 AM to 11 PM. - gsl] The Scots Marching Band will be claiming all his time for the next week, and when they aren't claiming his time, the Freshman Orientation schedule will be. Apart from dropping off his fresh laundry tonight, I won't see him until Wednesday morning for a couple of hours (~maybe!~); that afternoon, he'll be with other Freshmen, and I won't see him until the 4:00-4:30pm "Goodbye to Parents". All parents must leave the college at that time, so Thursday, I'll be flying home. In the meantime, I'll be reconnoitering around Wooster, and attending meetings Gordon and I signed up for before we knew he'd been in the band.

So now that he's unpacked what did we forget? Well, no coax cable to connect the TV to the cable service, no remote (maybe these were deliberate on our part? Nah!), and no Ethernet cable for a wired connection. Fortunately he can get a wireless access point from his room.
