Don't let the door hit you on the way out

Georgia Tech is really awesome and has graduation the day after finals end. So I have to squeeze in 4 finals, commissioning, graduation, and figure out how to pack up all my stuff all at the same time. Pretty much as soon as you walk and have your diploma in hand—its actually just a blank piece of paper because graduation occurs before final grades are in—they kick you out of the dorms. Here’s an email I received this morning:

Dear Student,

GRADUATING STUDENTS VACATING

Graduating Students must be checked out of the residence halls by Noon on Sunday, May 9. At the time of check out, all personal belongings must be completely removed from your room/suite/or apartment. No graduating student can check out later than Noon on Sunday, May 9. Failure to meet this deadline will result in an immediate $100.00 fine ($75.00 minimum late check-out fee, with an additional $25.00 per hour not to exceed a grand total of $250) with the possibility of additional monetary fines and a hold placed on Institute records. Please remember to take your bike! All bikes will be removed, impounded and disposed of from all storage rooms, cages and racks during the Break Period.

They should have signed it, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
