WAG - Words to Live By
Though I’ve already filled my initial quota of posters that are supposed to be in the hall, I am already getting to the point where the Fall Welcome ones will need to be phased out.
I have no specific deadline and my boss’s boss is not due to check out what we’ve done in a few short days (or if he is, we student staff members are blissfully ignorant of his impending visit). Thus I have decorations to make, but I need not go sleep deprived to get them all done.
I did that the first week when I put up decorations congratulating residents for having made it through the first day of classes. My literal mind told me I couldn’t put anything up until after midnight, or they technically wouldn’t have made it through the entire day. I had also neglected to tape candy to all the decorations, as I’d planned, so that was another factor in the timing.
Anyway, yesterday I put together a series of movie quotes life, living, and the personal mottos people use to make their way through the previous two.
I ran out of blue painters tape, the only tape approved to use on university walls, so I didn’t get to put them up last night. So if you read this now, you can get a sneak peak at the quotes before the residents do.
Enjoy:
The world is not enough… Family motto.
