Hello All!!
My roommates and I are currently aboard the Titanic, during its fateful sinking. The musicians are college choirboys, and the ship is our dorm building in a black-out. The emergency lights shine similar to those aboard the ships and many voices are screaming and yelling as they run about. Angry people are storming about searching and the temperature is frigid. The mood is somber…. Or not. That is where the similarities end. Generally everyone is rather worked up, but they are more likely angry that they missed out on the high score of their video game or that the internet crashed (why I’m mildly upset). Most students are taking advantage of this black-out as a break from homework and a time to bond without electronics. Many groups are hanging out and talking in the hallway. Many groups are playing cards and some students are even wearing masks and running the halls celebrating an early Halloween.

Jocelyn just told us a story. She told us the story of Clue. It was amazingful. She knew almost exactly what happened. The dialogue, the sound effects, the costumes, and some of the details that I had never noticed while watching the movie. I was much entertained and displeased when the lights came back on. Oh well. One hour of electronic free life was amazing. One free hour of friendly bonding. I was very excited.
That’s all for now folks!!
