WAG - They're Back!
Though more people have been showing up each day since I got here last Sunday, it took me a week to declare the floor "living" again. And that's a good thing and a bad thing.
It's great to have more people to talk to and not feeling a sense of isolation when walking the floor.
On the other hand, along with signaling the impending start of classes, it also means there's more work to do. Specifically, it means rules will have to be even more stringently enforced. It's not like I've been letting residents get by with looting and arson earier in the week (okay, maybe Cory, but he doesn't really count), but I am going to have to work on quiet hours for the first time in nearly a month.
And judging by the earlier sounds of the bongos in the distance, I might be an hour late in doing so.
Sitting on the verge of the next wave, I feel a certain kinship with Frankenstein's assistant Igor.
Dr. F: "Now that the spark of life has been rekindled in this formerly lifeless body, we are now free to watch it interact the world of the living."
Igor (After glancing at the monster-shaped hole in the lab and then out the window): "It seems like the creature is eager to back into interaction too."
Dr. F (looks at window, hole, window, hole for a second longer..., window..., door): "Quite right. Grab your coat and hats!"
Igor: "And pitforks?"
Dr. F: "And pitforks." (Pauses and turns) "Pitchforks?"
Igor (still looking out the window): "They seem to be very popular among the villagers charging up the hill to greet the creature."
Dr. F (joining Igor at the window): "Indeed."
Igor: "That's one rowdy welcome wagon."
Dr. F: "Indeed." (Shrugs) "Oh well. Go pop some pop corn Igor. We'll watch the 'interaction' from here."
Igor: "This ought to be good."
As far as residents and the semester goes, indeed.
