Parking....whomp whomp.

So those of you who know me personally already know that a month ago, my lovely and wonderfully sporty Toyota Corolla was stolen at my townhouse off campus.
Even those of you who don't know me personally now know that it sucks to be an off-campus, commuter student without a car. Whomp Whomp.

Already filled of horror stories about Mason parking, I was petrified of the stress that constant carpooling would add. To my shock, aside from having to spend some awkward extra hours just hanging out at places until my rides would get out of class, I've enjoyed my time carpooling. And even more shocking.....parking at Mason isn't scary.

With the new Rappahannock Deck, I've never had to drive around (I mean, be driven around) looking for a space, because there are always about 800-1000 general lot spaces available there. Here comes the dilemma:

Should I tell people about the deck and risk the information catching on like wildfire and losing my parking space?

I didn't want anyone else to know about the deck because it was the little secret that I kept with my carpool (let's call them my "drivers"). But I thought about it a little more, and I realized that it would just be wrong of me to not share such a good thing with you all.

So here it is: the Lowdown on Mason Parking.

I'm happy to report that while my month of green living was fun, it is coming to a close. Next week I rejoin the rest of the Mason community in the garage. Now that I just shared with you my secret of parking success, I hope you're kind enough to save me a spot in Rappahannock for my new car:
Yes it's gold, and yes it has a spoiler. Don't hate. :)
