Welcome home, new plant!

I bought a Sansevieria plant (otherwise known as Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law's Tongue...) today.  It's very lush and pretty, and has a brand new blue ceramic pot to live in.  I figured I'd want a plant in my college dorm.  Not only do I want a living buddy (hopefully my roommate will satisfy that requirement too), but maybe it will absorb all the CO2 that is produced when two college students sit listlessly at their computers for hours on end.
