Many thanks to luvtheheaven and MrsWemmaMorrison for their beta-magic.
I've said this before...but I really don't own GLEE - Ryan Murphy and FOX do.

Dear Finn,
I received your first letter today and knew that I had to write back tonight. It's perfect timing really – my dads left last night and I am spending my second official night in the NYADA dorms. It's really not the full experience though, much quieter without all of the rooms being filled. My Academic Advisor told me that the dorms are filled to about 40% capacity in the summer compared to 85% during the school year.
My roommate won't be moving until the fall, not that I'm complaining; I fully intend to enjoy having my own room while I can. There are definite perks to moving in first – I pick which bed and dresser I want first. Staking out my territory at NYADA is very important if I am going to be living here for four years. There is one major downside –only two bathrooms on the floor that are going to be shared by about fifteen people. How will I do my extensive morning routine when the bathroom is all the way down the hall? I'm going to have to carry all of my beauty supplies with me when I get up in the morning and again when I go to sleep at night.
The space in the room is okay I suppose. I'm taking advantage of having the entire room while I can. There's no way to fit my elliptical in here, so I need to find an alternative source for personal exercise. There's always walking I suppose, but boy am I going to miss my routine.
I promise, though, that I miss you more than the routine. I wish we didn't have to talk so late, but I understand that the army occupies the majority of your waking hours. Please be safe and remember to fight for good and not evil.
All of my love,
Rachel
