<p>I haven’t gotten mine yet either.</p>
<p>It should have been in your factota letter dated May 6, and may have been emailed. They are due back by 31 May, so there is plenty of time for email submission.</p>
<p>Vince011 and Waggish, are you doing Cornell or UT Austin? I’m going to UT Austin, and I got my forms.</p>
<p>Cornell.
I think that might be the reason for the discrepancy.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m also going to Cornell.</p>
<p>No rooming forms yet. Also Cornell. This explains it.</p>
<p>Cornell and no forms
I wonder what they are up too</p>
<p>Cornell.
No forms.
Anxious.
Same old, same old. </p>
<p>Can’t wait to meet you guys.</p>
<p>Day T-Minus 23: Pre-TASP countdown is firmly established. </p>
<p>I’m also so excited to meet all of you…</p>
<p>(hi paledot! 
)</p>
<p>Day T-minus 22: Pre-TASP countdown, continued.</p>
<p>(Hey there, apidae 
)</p>
<p>Day T-minus 20 : Pre-TASP countdown, rapidly advancing</p>
<p>(also, pubspeak dates have been sent. Oh dear.)</p>
<p>Yep, I got my pubspeak dates and my rooming forms in today. Agh, I’m so nervous about pubspeaks… Can’t wait to meet all of you, though : )</p>
<p>15 days!
10 char.</p>
<p>has anyone going to the UT TASP gotten information about roomates?</p>
<p>Nope! Anxiously awaiting it, though. Same with PubSpeak dates…gah.</p>
<p>If UT runs the way it did last year, you won’t know your roommate until you get there. (Same with PubSpeaks.) But your factota might be running the works differently.</p>
<p>I’m going to UT and i got my roommate info yesterday. We were also told that we would get our pubspeak dates before we arrive.</p>
<p>Yup, another UTer just told me the same. Interesting…we knew nothing pre-TASP in that sense. And you guys have book clubs, too? Shaweeeeet. Have fun, punks!</p>
<p>Yup, we all got our roommate info. They implied that we’ll be switching halfway through the program, though…any precedent for that?</p>
<p>Hm, it’s probably so you can get equally close to everyone. I’d encourage not being holed up in your rooms/suites too much, since there’s simply so much fun stuff to do in the house/Austin (if you’re UT) and you’ll definitely regret not taking advantage of those opportunities. But as for the switch, TASP is big on community, as I’m sure you know, so a lot of times the factota will encourage a strong group dynamic at first and then strong individual relationships later on in the program. Ours also introduced the idea of “frates” (friend dates) in the last two weeks so we could go on one-on-one (oy with the ons…) outings with people we weren’t as close to. This roommate switch is probably a similar relationship-strengthening tactic.</p>
