Mack, you are cracking me up with your story about the roommate. Since I stayed in the dorms throughout my college career, we were sometimes assigned a new roommate every semester. Oh, I could write many colorful tales about my roommates. But I feel the same way as you - I still have some affection for even the strangest of them! For years now I've looked back and often thought that the main and possibly most important lesson of college life was the roommate experience ;-) Kakki

Sounds exciting to me to meet a new friend.
