So I got a call back from Hillel lounge, with the info that a. none of the spaces I'd requested were free, and that no, they couldn't tell me of an unbooked space I could use for running dancing tomorrow. And that we shouldn't expect something in under 2 weeks, and that we might want to start planning for starting in a month and a half, which I think is completely ridiculous. So I just went and filled out a new room reservation form, including the fact that we'd be happy to use a classroom with movable desks that we could get out of hte way. It's far from ideal, but heck, it would work. Next semester I can set this up before winter break, and maybe it'll be less of a problem. But right now, I'm just frustrated- if it was going to take this long, why didn't they tell me that rather than asking if I could start the next week, as if it took no time at all, almost?
