After about a month of searching, I finally found a house in Bettendorf! After viewing it with my realtor, and again a second time with Mom and Dad (My informal house inspectors… :-)), I made an offer Wednesday, which was accepted that evening.

Today was Freshman Housing Day! This is a big tradition at Harvard, when the freshman find out what House they will belong to for the next three years.

The process begins in early March, when freshmen register their “blocking” and “linking” groups. Basically, you’re allowed to form a group of up to eight people that will all be placed in the same House. Then, you are allowed to “link” with another group of eight, and although you won’t be in the same House, you will be in the same neighborhood.
