...common room. When the maintenance staff returned, they began disposing of items that had come in contact with the water. “Anything that would touch your skin—shampoos, towels, mats—they were thrown out,” she said. The flood drove fellow Eliot resident Flavio S. Campos ’08 from his room to Dunster House, where he has been temporarily moved. Campos said he was not present when the flooding began, but that he received a phone call from his roommate informing him of the problem. “When...
...whirlwind weekend was centered around David—my temporary grandfather during our stay (or so I dreamed)—who drove us everywhere during the week. Though his previous passengers had included Beyoncé Knowles and Christina Aguilera, he assured me that I’m (almost) as cool. I’ll take that.

First it was the Muzak that drove me out of most stores, then the scented candles in gift shops. Whew! I turned and ran. Now more scents in every store? I simply dislike artificial scents, but many people are hypersensitive to smells and can be made ill by them. I guess there's always mail order and online shopping...
