[mit-habitat-exec] um i reserved the lawn...

[Anne S Yu]

hey guys, i don't know what they're talking about because i definitely went into
the CAC on Monday and reserved Kresge lawn and the girl said i was all set...
what the hell.  screw it, no more campus build... apparently we don't have
sunday, and saturday is raining and it's senior ball.  i think we will end up
1. being canceled and 2. having low turnout.  

my decision: let theta xi do it.  this is too hard.  jeff--when can they do it? 
 this weekend would be good.  we can just rent the uhauls for one day, to bring
the wood over to theta xi and then to take the frames over to emerson at the
habitat warehouse.  when i talked to emerson earlier this week, he said
saturday 4:30 or anytime before that would be a good time because the people
helping him unload will be there. 

if anyone is greatly opposed to this, let elyse and i know asap.  we've been
trying too hard at this and everything is working against us so let's just get
these frames built and to habitat asap so they can actually use them.  let us
know what you think...
