second floor is so lame - don't even think about it! actually, there are some cool first years down there for next year, but the same lame hushy-faces that will want to keep your party someplace else. third floor rocks out with its collective cock out. you'd face courtyard, i think, but it would be so fun.

walking up an extra flight of stairs is good for you! [wheeze, pant, wheeze]
