Goodbye Room 153.

I’m graduating and leaving this fine university in a matter of days, and last night I received a note under my door from the girl who has been assigned to move in this room when I’m gone. She asked if I could please email her and let her know when I’m moving out. Sure. No problem. So I try the address she has given me. It’s sent back. I try to look her up on people search. Nothing. She has told me her last name is “Thronton”, and her email address contains a portion of her last name.  I think to myself…this is a very funny last name. Thornton I’ve heard, Thronton not so much. So out of curiosity I people search “Thornton.” Lo and behold, there she is…same first name, living in the same dorm this girl is supposed to be transferring from.

What I’m telling you here, folks, is that the girl has misspelled her own last time. Twice. She told me her full name and misspelled it, and then misspelled it when telling me her email address. I thought I would try and email her with the correct address that I found on people search, but I’m going to have to give it some time before I’m going to be able to do this without making a snide remark.

Oh my.
