    So its the night before orientation, I just get to the hotel and Im one of those people that feels extremely uncomfortable (unless I had no choice) sharing a room with someone I dont know and especially the idea of theft freaks me out.

    I get to the front desk and ask Mr. Counter Guy, how much extra can would I have to pay for the next week if I wanted to have my own room.....he says 31.00$ a night. Im kinda iffy as it would be about 150$. Then under his breath he says, " ya know, you can pay per night the extra money and if you pay for tonights, nobody is going to bother you about the rest of the nights once your in the room".

    I'm like sweet! So lesson learned, it never hurts to ask! 31.00$ for a room all by my lonesome.

    Dude! Good for you! But I have to tell you I've made some lasting friendships in situations just like that, so it isn't always so bad. Good luck in orientation. I leave tomorrow on a 34hour bus ride to orientation too. Getting real excited right now as I do final laundry run and packing.

    Yeah I thought about that, I figure I had a 50% chance of meeting someone really cool or a 50% chance of someone that doesnt wash their feet....

    Good luck to ya...thats a heck of a bus ride. Suprised they didnt give you a rental car or flight.
