House Minutes 5/31

• Last house meeting of the year! Cue sad-sounding awwww. Emotions to be postponed for the end of the meeting.
  
• Laura sez: check your email for how to leave BJ after finals. Basically, they don't care where you sleep, but you can't sleep here. Leave by 3pm Saturday or incur $25/hr fees. Scrape your crap off the walls, throw away your trash, and repaint your walls if need be.
  
• Study Break on Tuesday and Movie Nite Thursday, as per uze. House BBQ Sunday at "probably like four in the afternoon, maybe, or five?" according to Laura. Gardening and good times to be had by all.
• Study Breaks galore during finals week, either Chez Schwabley or from Josh. Delish.
• 24 Quiet Hours start Thursday, so shut up and get studying.

• Anees is also having dinner with Nick The New RH and you can pass along any salient information you may have for him.
• KTHXBAI ANEES WE <3>
• Vote for DVD player with pushable buttons: A resounding yes! 69 or so dollars will be withdrawn from house savings to buy it.
