Time: 10:57
Out in the lounge again. Roommate turned out to have stayed out all night (Friday evening) after all. She came back last night though, hence me in the lounge.
The Christmas tree has been decorated. Or rather, as we call the tree that looks like a Christmas tree and is decorated like a Christmas tree: The Non-Denominational Winter-Time Shrub.
Trust the ISers to try to be politically correct in a time where it's politically incorrect to be politically incorrect.
Last evening there was some sort of a race going on in the corridors, as in a running race, complete with someone shouting "ready, set, go" and the pounding of footsteps worthy of a herd of stampeding elephants. There were some screeches too, but I didn't step outside my room to see as that I was concerned about the possibility of being run-over.
I THINK those people are from our floor though, or at least some of the people who were shouting were from our floor.
Happy holidays...the lights are going up all over the place (in the student dorms) now. Very cozy look from the outside and inside. Certain people's doors have acquired their distinct decorations that let the people know about the people who lived behind those doors (such as the door overwhelmed with hundreds of colorful post-its, right across from the 3rd floor lounge where I am currently sitting in). Our lounge has also acquired a lot of TIME magazines, also a few WIRED and some VANITY FAIR (or at least I think that's what it's called). Only one Scientific America thought--terribly under-represented and battered copy at that, but none of us had to pay for the magazines, so I really shouldn't complain.
