The tunnels connect all of the dorms to each other. There is a corner store down there as well as a post office, laundry rooms, a game room, fast food type place called Sol's and lots and lots of paintings on the walls. I think that's the neatest thing about the tunnels is being able to look at all of the different paintings from different clubs and organizations at RIT, it makes them a little less grim.

I thought the sky was exceptionally pretty tonight. In our tunnel hunt we ended up coming out at the NTID buildings (national technical institute for the deaf) which are really amazing. I'd never seen them before but they look brand new and have really awesome places to sit and read. Plus the advantage of it being in the NTID section is that it is abnormally quiet so it might turn out to be an excellent place to study. After our adventure we just hung out in our room/on our floor some more until I got a call from my friend requesting technical support. That's one of the things I really do love about college life so far is that if someone wants to meet up with you or asks for help you're literally a 10 minute or less walk away. I ended up going over and helping her set up her new laptop and such. Came back to the room to hang out some more before the WOW event. This third year guy at RIT that Ashley met at College and Careers last summer ended up coming over for a while to hang out too. The magician was pretty good, it's really overwhelming the number of activities they have on campus this week. Each night there is a main WOW (week of welcome) event as well as ice skating, rock climbing, sign language classes, and concerts at the coffee shops and they're unfortunately all at the same time which means we really have to pick. Every night so far has been pretty good though.

great pics from a fun night. i'm glad you have time to check out the various nooks and crannies of campus before things pick up. sounds like you might be able to offer meghan a bit of advice on getting out and about. (p.s. please let me know some time how you put captions under pictures.)
i think you should organize a group to paint a mural somewhere--something outrageous and different. perhaps a sodoku grid where you paint in new numbers every few weeks and see if people try to solve it--authorized grafitti!
