Sometimes, the crazy prep pays off...

Three cheers for being anxious and paranoid about my rental documents -- I scanned all the paperwork I need to turn in to renew my lease, and since it turns out the housing office lost the entire packet, I had it scanned as a pdf to email them.

I still won't get my lease renewed until May, as the manager I talked with (D Murry) said they're only working 3 hours a day at the office. She assured me there won't be any penalty because the problem is that they can't process everyone's paperwork with that short a time in office, but that means I'll have to call back in May.
