Sometimes Houses Look Like People...This morning at 4 AM Caitlin and I were woken up by the blaring fire alarm. We shuffled downstairs and out into the rain so that Caitlin could direct the congregation of Biddle Hall residents. It was all such a blur at first, to be woken in the middle of the night and stand in the rain in pajamas. As I started waking up, things just kept getting weirder. The rain increased and then the next thing I knew I saw Alan (one of the other RAs in Biddle) carry a handicapped resident out of the dorm door in his arms cradled like a baby. The resident was still in his white briefs underwear and it was all mad. Ben is the resident's name and he is unable to use his legs. I helped Alan hold Ben up for a couple minutes and everything just turned absurd. There we were cradling a man in his underwear in the middle of the night in the pouring rain. It started to rain harder and Ben got cold so we decided to carry him over about 200 ft to Lincoln hall so he could get dry. We waited there for about ten minutes until the police had cleared everything up and then we went back inside. After that, I had trouble falling back asleep and I when I finally did I didn't wake up until about 10:00.
Today has been mostly slow in terms of getting school work done but I have gotten a lot of other things done.
I am excited for this week even though it will be hectic. I have so much to do and so little time to do it.
Took this photograph on my street. The house looks like a face to me.
