I have arrived at LeTourneau and met my new roommate. After several frantic days, everything is finally settl—

AND CLASSES START TOMORROW AAAAAAH!

Never mind. I will save my personal LETU survival guide for later. Let us talk about something fun today.

On the first day we met, he established his power level by producing a desk lamp and a three-in-one wireless charger. So when he pulled out an Ethernet cable today and boosted our internet speed from 80 to 800, I was no longer quite as surprised. And then…

Me (organizing my desk): Do you have one of those… you know, those things for managing cables?

Him: Sure. (Produces a brand-new set.) Just do not take all of them; I may still need some.

Me: Did you scavenge these?

Him: Yep.

Me (still organizing my desk): Do you have one of those… you know, those things you can hang headphones on?

Him: Which one do you want? (Produces an entire pile.)

This man is reliable.

The training method behind this real-life Doraemon is simple: scavenging. In plain English, dumpster diving. I never expected to make up here for the experience I missed with Grandpa in Chengde. But honestly, there is good stuff to be found beside the international-student dorms. Even tonight, with everyone moving in on the eve of classes, I managed to find three IKEA organizers in 99-percent-new condition. Bring them back, give them a wash, and they are ready to go.

My Max-Level Roommate: now officially an ongoing series!
