Hinton James, I shall miss thee.

I've lived in Hinton James, the arguably worst located dorm on campus. Situated about 15 minutes away by foot (I'm a slow walker), Hinton James is 10 floors modelled after ... the projects. No, I'm not kidding. They've managed to maximize the number of students they can cram in here with using as little space as possible.

My freshman year I got lucky and got A/C (1/4 of the rooms have A/C here, which gets somewhat annoying during the sweltering summers).

I really shouldn't use the word sweltering to describe the heat here. I think it's just habit actually. It's just like when you describe large crowds you always use the word "teem." Like ... "the teeming crowd surged forward." Etc. Chapel Hill is definitely not sweltering compared to Vietnam. Hoo, boy. One day in Saigon ... 35 Celsius with the bright sun beating down ... all with massive humidity. I would be outside for a minute (literally) before I felt lightheaded.

Ok, back to Hinton James.

Next year, I'm moving in with Yush and Sungjin into a triple in Lewis. I shall finally be close to campus!

I would of stayed in HoJo another year if they gave me a plaque or built some sort of Saddam-esque statue in front of Hinton James.

Sad.
